[J Example 7 Hi The table shows the distance in km and airfares in US dollars from Changi airport, Singapore, to twelve destinations, a Use your GDC to sketch a scatter diagram of this data with the line of best fit, b Write down the equation of your line of best fit. ¢ Use your equation to estimate the cost of a 1000km fight. thleleo 117x083 1000 3004) places. (Exercise 10E You should use your GDC for all of this exercise. 1A patient is given medicine by a drip feed and its concentration in his blood is measured at hourly intervals, The doctors believe that a linear relationship will exist between the variables. Time x(hours) 0 /1/2/3/4 5 | 6 Concentration y 2.4 4.3 5.0/6.9 9.1 11.4 135 You will usally have to round your answers to thee significane figures Cost = $(0.117 xdistance + 83.3) Doltars and cents ~ wo deciral Itwould not be sensible to preciet the concentvation after 8 n0urs fron this equation ~ we cor’t know whether ‘the relationsnip will continue to be lineet. The process of trying to precict value from outside the range of your deta is called extrapolation a Show the data on a scatter diagram with a line of best fit. b_ Write down the equation of the line. c¢ Find the concentration of medicine in the blood after 3.5 hours. Crepter 102. The table below shows the value of Ja?’s car in thousands of Malaysian Ringgits for the first seven years after it was purchased, Cost (MYR 1000) 30 a. Show the price of the car on a scatter diagram with a line of best fit. b Write down the equation of the regression line, ¢ Estimate the cost of his car after 44 years, d_ Suppose Jai takes good care of the car, Explain why the equation cannot be used to estimate the cost of the car after 50 years, 3. The table below shows ten people who bought gym membership and the number of hours that they exercised in the past week.

Explain why. 4 Sarah's parents are concerned that she seems short for her age. ‘Their paediatrician has the following record of Sarah’s height: Age (months) 36 eight (cm) 86 Ascatter diagram showed a strong positive association between age and height, and a least squares regression line was found to be HEIGHT = 71.95 + 0.3833 AGE. The doctor wants to predict Sarah's height when she is 50 years old if there is no intervention (growth hormone), and he uses the regression line for this prediction. Check the doctor's prediction, and then comment on this procedure. 48/51 | 57 |60 go 91 94/9 5 Revisit the data from the leaning tower of Pisa, a Find the mean point. b Draw a scatter diagram with a regression line passing through the mean point. ¢ Find the equation of the regression line. d_ Use your equation to estimate the lean in 1990.
