Question
Scientists measured the annual forest loss (in square kilometers) in Indonesia from 2000–2012. They found the regression line
forest loss=7500+(1021×years since 2000)forest loss=7500+(1021×years since 2000)
for predicting forest loss in square kilometers from years since 2000.
(a) What is the slope of this line? (Enter your answer rounded to a whole number.)
(b) If we measured forest loss in square meters per year, what would the slope be? Note that there are 106106 square meters in a square kilometer. (Enter your answer rounded to a whole number.)
(c) If we measured forest loss in thousands of square kilometers per year, what would the slope be? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)

- Based on the scatterplot and residual plot, what type of model would be appropriate for summarizing the relationship between days and number of views? A popular television show recently released a video preview for the upcoming season on its website. As fans of the show discover the video, the number of views of the preview video has grown each day during the last 2 weeks. The number of days since the release of the video and the natural log of the number of video views is shown in the scatterplot. O An exponential model is appropriate because the residual plot does not show a clear pattern. O A linear model is appropriate because the scatterplot shows a strong, positive linear relationship. In(Views) vs. Days O A power model is appropriate because the scatterplot of days and natural log of views is strong and linear. 10 9.5 An exponential model is appropriate because the relationship between days and the natural log of views is linear, and the residual plot does not show a clear…arrow_forwardDefine regression linearrow_forwardA standardized exam's scores are normally distributed.

Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c).

- Data was collected for a regression analysis where sleep quality (as a percentage) depends on the amount of caffeine consumed in a day (measured in mg). bo was found to be 92.7, bị was found to be -0.76, and R' was found to be 0.86. Interpret the slope of the line. On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed increases a person's sleep quality by 92.7%. On average, when x = 0, a person has a sleep quality of -0.76%. On average, when x = 0, a person has a sleep quality of 92.7%. On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed decreases a person's sleep quality by 0.76%. We should not interpret the slope in this problem. We should interpret the slope in this problem, but none of the above are correct.arrow_forwardIf the Black Death caused 50 million deaths over 3 years with a 60% population decrease from 80 million to 30 million how do I show the linear progression of the disease from the start of the outbreak in Europe to the 3rd year?arrow_forwardThe regression equation to predict the total world gross ticket sales from the opening weekend ticket sales is: WorldGross^=9.23+6.87⋅OpeningWeekend Interpret the y-intercept of the regression line in context.arrow_forward
