Problem Set 3 1.

The following data shows the number of push-ups someone could do as they began a new exercise routine. Days 2 4 6 8 10 Push Ups 8 10 19 18 25

a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. Create and write down the linear regression equation for the data. b) How many pushups could the person do on Day 5. c) How many pushups will the person be able to do on day 25? Comment on your answer. 2. Ann Archer shoots an arrow into the air. The table lists its height at various times after she shoots it. Time (sec) 1 2 3 4 5 Height (ft) 79 121 131 109 55 a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. Create an appropriate regression equation for this data. Write down your equation. b) How high was the arrow at 2.3 seconds? Was it going up or down at that time? c) At what two times was the arrow 100ft high? d) When was the arrow at its highest? How high was that? e) At what time did the arrow hit the ground? 3. Use the following data to fit an exponential regression model. X 5 10 15 Y 12 18 27

a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. Write down an exponential equation to fit the data. b) What is the y-value when x is 13? c) What is the x-value when y is 30? d) What is the y-value when x is 55? 4. Naturalists place 30 roadrunners in a game preserve that formerly had no roadrunners. Over the years, the population grows as shown in the table. Yr 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 pop 30 44 58 81 110 138 175 203 234 260 276 293 a) Sketch a scatter plot of the data. b) Create a logistic model to fit the data and write down your equation. c) If this trend continues, how many roadrunners will there be in 20 years? d) What is the maximum population that the game preserve can sustain?
