Question
The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states.
xx | 11.7 | 8.2 | 6.9 | 3.6 | 2.4 | 2.4 | 2.6 | 0.3 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
yy | 14.3 | 11 | 10.2 | 7.3 | 5.9 | 6.4 | 6 | 4.6 |
x = thousands of automatic weapons
y = murders per 100,000 residents
This data can be modeled by the equation y=0.86x+4.1.y=0.86x+4.1. 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 3.7 thousand automatic weapons?
Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.
B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 9.8 thousand automatic weapons?
Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.

- Prehistoric pottery vessels are usually found as sherds (broken pieces) and are carefully reconstructed if enough sherds can be found. Information taken from Mimbres Mogollon Archaeology by A. I. Woosley and A. J. McIntyre (University of New Mexico Press) provides data relating x = body diameter in centimeters and y = height in centimeters of prehistoric vessels reconstructed from sherds found at a prehistoric site.

- Shelia’s doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if her glucose level is above 136 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after ingesting a sugary drink. Shelia’s measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 125 mg/dl and σ = 11 mg/dl. a)What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportion if measurements are made instead on 40 separate days? b)If measurements are made on 40 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes? c)Let’s consider what could happen if we took 40 separate measurements from Shelia. What is the blood glucose level L such that the probability…arrow_forwardThe table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. xx 11.8 8.6 6.6 3.8 2.4 2.6 2.3 0.8 yy 13.9 11.1 9.9 7.1 6.4 6.4 5.8 4.7 xx = thousands of automatic weaponsyy = murders per 100,000 residentsUse your calculator to determine the equation of the regression line.
