Susan is a single mother with three children. She can earn $8 per hour and works up to 2,000 hours per year. However, if she does not earn any income at all, she will receive government benefits totaling $16,000 per year. For every $1 of income she earns, her level of government support will be reduced by $1. The table below is patterned after Table 15.8 from the text.   Number of Work Hours Earnings from Work Government Benefits Total Income 2000 $16,000 $0 $16,000 1600 $12,800     1200 $9600     800 $6400     400 $3200 $12,800 $16,000 0 $0 $16,000 $16,000   Complete the table.

Brawdy Plastics, Inc., produces plastic seat belt retainers for General Motors at the Brawdy Plastics plant in Buffalo, New York. After final assembly and painting, the parts are placed on a comveyor belt that moves the parts past a final inspection station. How fast the parts move past the final inspection station depends upon the line speed of the conveyor belt (feet per minute). Although faster line speeds are desirable, management is concerned that increasing the line speed too much may not provide enough time for inspectors to identify which parts are actually defective. To test this theory, Brawdy Plastics conducted an experiment in which the same batch of parts, with a known number of defective parts, was inspected using a variety of line speeds. The following data were collected. Number of Line Speed Defective Parts Found 20 22 20 21 30 19 30 17 40 16 40 17 50 14 50 10 (a) Develop a scatter diagram with the line speed as the independent variable. * 25 25 25 25 20- 20 20 20 2…
