(iii) Interpret the coefficient of determination.arrow_forwardLarge companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 – 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Diane falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 93 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 17 said they would buy the product, and of the 113 people in Diane's market category, 34 said they would buy it. Assuming that these data came…arrow_forwardAn observational study is conducted to compare experiences of men and women between the ages of 50‒59 years, following coronary artery bypass surgery. Participants undergo the surgery and are followed until the time of death, until they are lost to follow-up, or up to 30 years, whichever comes first. The following table details the experiences of participating men and women. The data below are years of death or years of last contact for men and women.

A major objective ofthe RRA was to promote electronic filing of tax returns.The data in the table that follows show the percentage ofindividual income tax returns filed electronically for filingyears 2004–2012. Since the percentage P of returns filedelectronically depends on the filing year y, and each inputcorresponds to exactly one output, the percentage ofreturns filed electronically is a function of the filing year; soP1y2 represents the percentage of returns filed electronicallyfor filing year y.(a) Find the average rate of change of the percentage ofe-filed returns from 2004 to 2006.(b) Find the average rate of change of the percentage ofe-filed returns from 2007 to 2009.(c) Find the average rate of change of the percentage ofe-filed returns from 2010 to 2012.(d) What is happening to the average rate of change as timepasses?arrow_forwardThe United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in conjunction with the Forest Service, publishes information to assist companies in estimating the cost of building a temporary road for such activities as a timber sale. Such roads are generally built for one or two seasons of use for limited traffic and are designed with the goal of reestablishing vegetative cover on the roadway and adjacent disturbed area within ten years after the termination of the contract, permit, or lease. The timber sale contract requires out sloping, removal of culverts and ditches, and building water bars or cross ditches after the road is no longer needed. As part of this estimation process, the company needs to estimate haul costs. The USDA publishes variable costs in dollars per cubic- yard-mile of hauling dirt according to the speed with which the vehicle can drive. Speeds are mainly determined by the road width, the sight distance, the grade, the curves, and the turnouts. Thus, on a steep, narrow,…arrow_forward

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, carbon emissions, in the form ofcarbon dioxide (CO2), make up more than 80 percent of the greenhouse gases emitted in the UnitedStates (EPA, 2019). The burning of fossil fuels releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases. These carbonemissions raise global temperatures by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere. This alters watersupplies and weather patterns, changes the growing season for food crops, and threatens coastalcommunities with increasing sea levels (EPA, 2016).The amount of CO2 emitted per year A (in tons) for a vehicle that averages x miles per gallon of gas, canbe approximated by the function A(x) = 0.0089x 2 − 0.815x + 22.3. a) Determine the average rate of change of the amount of CO2 emitted in a year over the interval[20, 25], and interpret its meaning.b) Determine the average rate of…arrow_forward
