- LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Gender Ratio The number of males per 100 females, age 65 or over, in the United States for some recent years is shown in the following table. Source: The U.S Census Bureau. Year Males per 100 Females 1960 82.8 1970 72.1 1980 67.6 1990 67.2 2000 70.0 2010 77.0 a. Plot the data, letting x be the years since 1900. b. Would a linear or quadratic function best model this data? Explain. c. If your graphing calculator has a quadratic regression feature, find the quadratic function that best fits the data. Graph this function on the same calculator window as the data. See Example 7c. d. Choose the lowest point in the table above as the vertex and 110,77.0 as a second point to find a quadratic function defined by f(x)=a(xh)2+k that models the data. e. Graph the function from part d on the same calculator window as the data and function from part c. Do the graphs of the two functions differ by much? f. Predict the number of males per 100 females in 2004 using the two functions from parts c and d, and compare with the actual figure of 71.7.arrow_forward19 A company collected data for the number of text messages sent and received using a text-message application since October 2011. The table shows the number of text messages sent and received in billions over time. The data can be modeled by a quadratic function.
