Annual high temperatures in a certain location have been tracked for several years. Let XX represent the year and YY the high temperature. Based on the data shown below, calculate the correlation coefficient (to three decimal places) between XX and YY.

Find the mean hourly cost when the cell phone described above is used for 240 minutes.

What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?

Planetary Velocity The following table gives the mean velocity of planets in their orbits versus their mean distance from the sun. Note that 1AU astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the sun, abut 93 million miles. Planet d=distance AU v=velocity km/sec Mercury 0.39 47.4 Venus 0.72 35.0 Earth 1.00 29.8 Mars 1.52 24.1 Jupiter 5.20 13.1 Saturn 9.58 9.7 Uranus 19.20 6.8 Neptune 30.05 5.4 Astronomers tell us that it is reasonable to model these data with a power function. a Use power regression to express velocity as a power function of distance from the sun. b Plot the data along with the regression equation. c An asteroid orbits at a mean distance of 3AU from the sun. According to the power model you found in part a, what is the mean orbital velocity of the asteroid?
