The formula
a. Use the $$$ to find the projected increase in the number of Americans ages 65-84, in millions, from 2030 to 2060. Express this difference in simplified radical form.
b. Use a calculator and write your answer in part (a) to the
nearest tenth. Dues this rounded decimal overestimate or underestimate the difference in the projected data shown by the bar graph on the previous page? By how much?

On the basis of (a) and (b) and the principle of parsimony, which forecasting model would you select? The model with the smallest values of Syx and MAD should be used, which is the quadratic model.arrow_forward
- Find a graph or bar chart that represents a real situation where you could use a linear or exponential equation to model the data. Identify the type of function that is being modeled and why you believe it to be this type. Estimate the equation for the function.arrow_forwardAfter eating at a restaurant, it is customary to leave a tip t for the server for at least 15% of the cost of the meal c.

- Help pleasearrow_forward| + 3. (5.7.12) On June 2, 2010 USA Today reported a story from Bloomberg News that said that the total price tag for the project to build the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter would be 65% higher than the original $232 billion estimate. The cost now is estimated to be $382 billion. The total cost of each plane would be $112.4 million, up 81% from the original $62 million. The cost to produce each plane would be $92.4 million, about 85% higher than the original estimate of $50 million. a. Check the arithmetic to see that the three percentage increases reported are correct. b. Can you explain how the project cost can have increased by just 65% when the overall total per plane increased by 81% and the construction cost alone increased by almost 85%? 4.
