The scatterplot below shows the relationship between poverty rate, y, in the 51 states in the US (including DC) and the high school graduation rate, x. The linear regression equation for predicting poverty is as follows: y = 64.68 - 0.62x The actual high school graduation rate for a certain state is 78.3%, and the actual poverty rate in that state is 17.234%. What is the residual for this observation? (a) Residual = (b) Interpret the meaning of the residual:

Consider a society with a total population of 200. 100 people earn $3 a day and 100 earn $1 a day. The poverty line is set at $2 a day. The poverty gap ratio (PG) is expressed as: where z is the poverty line, yi is the income of individual i, q is the number of poor people (whose incomes are below the poverty line) and n is the size of the population. What is the value of the poverty gap ratio of this society? Select one: 0.750 0.500 0.250 0.125

Poverty Rates The data (top, right) represent the percentage of families with children in the United States whose income is below the poverty level. (a) With a graphing utility, draw a scatter plot of the data. Comment on the type of relation that appears to exist between the two variables. (b) Decide on a function of best fit to these data (linear, quadratic, or cubic), and use this function to predict the percentage of U.S. families with children that were below the poverty level in $2016(t=13) .$ Compare your prediction to the actual value of 15.0 . (c) Draw the function of best fit on the scatter plot drawn in part (a).
