Suppose we fit a regression line to predict the number of incidents of skin cancer per 1,000 people from the number of sunny day

s in a year. For a particular year, we predict the incidence of skin cancer to be 1.5 per 1,000 people, and the residual for this year is 0.5. Did we over or under estimate the incidence of skin cancer? Explain your reasoning.

Answer: The incidence of skin cancer (melanoma) has been underestimated.

Step-by-step explanation: The frequency of melanoma is more than 20 times higher in whites than in black Americans. In general, the risk of melanoma in the course of life is approximately 2.6% (1 in 38) for whites, 0.1% (1 in 1.000) for black people and 0.58% (1 in 172) for Hispanics. the risk for each person can be affected by a different number of factors.

Identifiy the initial amount a and the decay factor b in the exponential function y=5×0.5^×
xenn [34]

Answer:

a=5\\ \\b=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential decay function y=5\cdot (0.5)^x

When x=0, then

y=5\cdot (0.5)^0=5\cdot 1=5,

so the initial amount is a=5

The exponential decay function y=a\cdot b^x has the decay factor b.

In your case, the eexponential decay factor is b=0.5
