Let’s work with some actual data this time. Go online to research and find a set of real-world data in two variables. The data c

an be in tabular form or in a scatter plot. Choose data that has a reasonable number of data points so you’re able to uncover trends. For the purposes of this activity, the data must not show a linear association. Describe the data you’ve identified in a sentence or two, and include a link to the data. then create a scatter plot of your data.
Identify the function from part B that best fits the scatter plot of your real-world data. why did you choose the function that you did in part c? explain your answer.

The quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

<h3>The data points </h3>

The following table of values represents the data points that would be used to solve this question:

x 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

y 470 416 403 226 314 338 693

Where:

  • x represents years since 2000
  • y represents the annual revenue of a manufacturing company in thousand dollars

<h3>The function of the dataset</h3>

The table of values illustrates a quadratic function.

The function would be calculated using a graphing calculator

From the graphing calculator, we have:

a = 32.86; b = -379.14 and c = 1369.14

A quadratic regression equation is represented as:

y = ax² + bx + c

So, we have:

y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

Hence, the quadratic regression equation that best fits the data set is y = 32.86x² - 379.14x  + 1369.14

<h3>Why the function type was chosen?</h3>

From the table of values in (a), we can see that as x increases; the value of y decreases and then increases after it reaches a minimum.

This illustrates the behavior of a quadratic regression function

See attachment for the scatter plot

Y is directly proportional to x, and y =216 when x=2 find y when x=7
jek_recluse [69]
Y = kx
@ y = 216, x = 2
k = y/x = 216/2 = 108

@ x=7
y = (108)(7) = 756

In how many ways can a committee of four men and four woman be formed from a group of seven men and eleven women?
-Dominant- [34]
Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.

Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550
