I NEED THIS ANSWERED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! THANK YOU!

Years after 1990 U.S. population (in millions)
1990: x=0 248.8
2000: x=10 281.4
2010: x=20 308.7
2020: x=30 331.4
2021: x=31 331.9



B) Use your graphing calculator’s linear regression option (LinReg) to obtain a model of the form y= ax+b that fits to the data. Use the function to find the US population in 2010. Round to the nearest tenth of a million. Does this function value overestimate or underestimate the US population in 2010 given in the table? By how much? According to the linear regression model, when will the US population be 400 million?


C) Use your graphing calculator’s quadratic regression option (QuadReg) to obtain a model of the form y=ax2 +bx + c that fits to the data. Use the function to find the US population in 2010. Round to the nearest tenth of a million. Does this function value overestimate or underestimate the US population in 2010 given in the table? By how much? According to the quadratic regression model, when will the US population be 400 million?


D) Use your graphing calculator’s exponential regression option (ExpReg) to obtain a model of the form y=abthat fits to the data. Use the function to find the US population in 2010. Round to the nearest tenth of a million. Does this function value overestimate or underestimate the US population in 2010 given in the table? By how much? According to the exponential regression model, when will the US population be 400 million?


E) Use your graphing calculator’s logarithmic regression option (LnReg) to obtain a model of the form y= a + b ln x that fits to the data. Use the function to find the US population in 2010. Round to the nearest tenth of a million. Does this function value overestimate or underestimate the US population in 2010 given in the table? By how much? According to the logarithmic regression model, when will the US population be 400 million?


F) See your answers on b)-e) and decide the best regression model for the US population in 2010. Use this model to predict the US population in 2030.

Since it tells what to use on your graphing calculator what exactly do you need beyond the instructions given? Do you have a graphing calculator?

Try Desmos.com it is free and comes with free lessons. Heather gives a great illustration below and as she points out you probably would not be allowed to use Desmos.com on a test so investing in a TI-84 would probably be worth the effort. I’d further suggest that if you can get a student discount do so, graphing calculators can be costly.

Thanks Brenda! Yes, the TI-84 would definitely be worth the investment!
