Answer:
(4x+9)-(16x+9) = 4x+9-16x-9
= -12x
Answer:
1.) A negative linear pattern
2.) Y = - 0.298X1 + 22.241
3.) slope = - 0.298 ; intercept = 22.241
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Fitting the time series data using technology, the regression equation obtained is :
Y = - 0.298X+ 22.241
Where ; y = percentage of adults who smoke
x = year
Comparing with the linear equation model :
y = b1x + b0
y = - 0.298x + 22.41
-0.298 = slope
22.41 = intercept
The mean squared error, MSE = 0.512
To achieve, percentage users of 12% or less :
y = 12
Y = - 0.298X+ 22.241
12 = - 0.298X + 22.241
12 - 22.241 = - 0.298X1
-10.241 = - 0.298X
X = 10.241 / 0.298
X = 34.365
X = 35 years
From the model OSHA is not on target to meet it's goal as it will take 35 - 11 = 24 years from the last year of the data to achieve a smoker percentage less Than 12%
