The two graphs attached show the relationship between the number of items sold per week vs number of weeks since the item arrived at the store. Although both graphs show sales are increasing per week, the graphs look different. If you were the store manager, which item would you order more of during week 9 and why?
Chapter 01 Homework Suppose that Rosa is a diligent hard-working first-year college student. One Sunday, she decides to start the day by working through 300 practice problems to study for the statistics class. Using a table to track her progress throughout the day, she notices that as the hours pass, it takes her longer to solve the problems.

The following week, Piper's statistics faculty advisor gives her some advice. In all their years of teaching they claim to observe that working on 105 multiple choice questions boosts a student's test score by about the same amount as spending an hour reviewing lecture notes.

1. You have been hired as a consultant for the City of Los Angeles. City planners need to understand population data and use the data to predict the population in the future. Having a good estimate of the city's population helps the planners decide how much money will be needed for city maintenance and services, and helps local officials anticipate the needs for housing, school and other construction, and much more. Your work begins with finding the population of Los Angeles in the United States Census for 1920 to 2010. The U.S. Census Bureau data for the City of Los Angeles 1920-2010 appears in table below.
