The Department of Streets of a city has a budget of $1,962,800 for resurfacing roads and hiring additional

workers this year.

The cost of resurfacing a mile of 2-lane road is estimated at $84,000. The average starting salary of a worker in the department is $36,000 a year.

Your equation that represents the relationship between the miles of 2-lane roads the department could resurface, `x`, and the number of new workers it could hire, `y`, if it spends the entire budget.

Take the equation you wrote in the first question and solve for `y`. Explain what the solution represents in this situation. 

Given are five observations for two variables, x and y. xi 1 2 3 4 5 yi 3 7 5 11 14 which of the following is a scatter diagrams accurately represents the data? what does the scatter diagram developed in part (a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables? try to approximate the relationship betwen x and y by drawing a straight line through the data. which of the following is a scatter diagrams accurately represents the data? develop the estimated regression equation by computing the values of b 0 and b 1 using equations (14.6) and (14.7) (to 1 decimal). = + x use the estimated regression equation to predict the value of y when x = 4 (to 1 decimal). =
