The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.
Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories) means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.
Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct
Answer: 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up equation
The total signatures she needs is 4 times as many as she has. From this we can create the equation (4n = total signatures)
We know that the total number of signatures is 8000, so plug this into the equation to get 4n = 8000
Solve for n
Now that we have an equation, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by 4
4n = 8000
n = 8000 / 4 = 2000
Final Answer
Fiona has collected 2000 signatures so far
Answer:
years worked: 14
at least 10 years: 73%
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is found by adding the years of service and dividing by the number of employees. The total years of service is 417, so the average is ...
average years worked = 417/30 = 13.9 ≈ 14 . . . years
__
The percentage of employees that have worked there at least 10 years is found by counting the number with 10 or more years of service and dividing that count by the total number of employees. The result is then expressed as a percentage.
(10 years or over)/(total number) = 22/30 = 0.73_3 (a repeating decimal) ≈ 73%

Comment on the working
A spreadsheet can be helpful for this. It has a function that can calculate the mean for you. Sorting the years of service into order can make it trivially easy to count the number that are 10 or more, or you can write a function that will do the count for you. (Also, less than 10 means the years are a single digit. There are 8 single-digit numbers in your list.) The hard part is copying 30 numbers without error.
