Using Linear Models
2-5
Practice (continued)
Form K
6. A woman is considering buying a car. She researches prices for various years of the same model of car. The table below shows the data from her research.
a. Use a calculator to find the line of best fit. Let x = the number of years since 2000.
b. Use your linear model to predict how much a 2007 model should cost.
c. Error Analysis She predicts that a 2005 model costs $9800. Does this seem reasonable? Why or why not?
Consider each situation and predict the type of correlation you might find. Positive, negative or No correlation. Do you think that changes in the first quantity caused the changes in the second quantity?
7. a person’s weight and the size of clothing they wear
8. the number of rooms in a person’s home and the number of books a person owns
9. the length of time a candle has been burning and the height of the candle
For each situation, find a linear model and use it to make a prediction. You should be able to do these by hand AND with a calculator.
10. A 2-mi cab ride costs $5.25. A 5-mi cab ride costs $10.50. How much does a 3.8-mi cab ride cost?
11. There are 55 blades of grass in 1 in.2 of lawn. There are 230 blades of grass in 4 in.2 of the same lawn. How many blades of grass are in 3 in.2 of lawn?
12. An empty 5-gal water jug weighs 0.75 lb. With 3 c of water inside, the jug weighs 2.25 lb. Predict the weight of the jug with 5 c of water inside.
