- The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. 11.4 8.5 6.6 3.6 2.3 2.5 2.1 0.6 y 13.4 11.4 9.3 7.2 5.9 5.9 5.6 4.3 x = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents This data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.85x + 3.88. Use this equation to answer the following: Special Note: I suggest you verify this equation by performing linear regression on your calculator. A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 10 thousand automatic weapons? Round to 3 decimal places. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 9 thousand automatic weapons?

- Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. x days y km/100 71 76 31 92 203 14.2 19.6 5.8 11.2 35.9 (a) Verify that Ex = 473, Ey = 86.7, Ex = 61,451, Ey = 2033.69, Exy = 10995.7, and r 0.93868. %3D %3D %3D %3D Σχ 1 473 ΣΥ| 86.7 Ex2 61451 Ey2 2033.69 Exy 10995.7 r0.93868 (b) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim p > 0.
