Long-Life Insurance has developed a linear model that it uses to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have, based on the current age of the head of the household. The equation is:

y = 165 – .1x

where

y = Insurance needed ($000)
x = Current age of head of household

b. Use the equation to determine the amount of term life insurance to recommend for a family of four if the head of the household is 41 years old. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation:

Linear Modeling

Models are an important part of the study of a variety of natural phenomena in a great number of fields like science, health, business, human behavior, economics, among many others.

Once a model is determined, it can be used to estimate future values of important variables which in turn can help people to make decisions.

It has been determined a model that relates the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have with the current age of the head of the household. That model is

we are required to estimate the amount of term life insurance to recommend to a family of four when the head of the household is x=41 years old. Let's plug in the given value in the equation
