The table below shows the number C of Crayola colors available t years after 1900.

 

t = years since 1900    

3 49 58 72 90 98 103

 

C = number of colors

8 48 64 72 80 120 120

 

(a) Find the equation of the regression line for C as a function of t. (Round regression line parameters to two decimal places.)

 

C(t)= 

 

 

(b) How many Crayola colors does the regression line indicate for 1993? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Note that the actual number is 96.)

I generated the regression line with this app......http://www.alcula.com/calculators/statistics/linear-regression/

 

(a)  y=1.09x-0.77  ......   or in our case..... C(t) = 1.09t - 0.77

 

(b) For 1993, we have

 

y = 1.09 (93) -0.77  = about 100.6 colors or 101 colors [ rounded]

 

 

cool cool cool
