The following chart shows the temperature in degrees Celsius, starting at an elevation of 1100 feet in the Rockies, then going up to the top of a mountain pass. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Elevation & Temp \\ \hline (Feet) & (Celsius) \\ \hline & \\ \hline 1100 & 35 \\ \hline 2000 & 32 \\ \hline 2500 & 30 \\ \hline 3000 & 28 \\ \hline 4000 & 24 \\ \hline 5200 & 21 \\ \hline 6100 & 19 \\ \hline 7300 & 17 \\ \hline \end{tabular} a. Using your graphing calculator, graph a scatter plot of this data. Draw a line of best fit. (2 marks) b) Find a linear regression function that would model this data. b. \( \qquad \) 1 mark c) Estimate what the temperature would be at an elevation of 3900 feet.

Temperature Celsius as a function of the altitude $h$ in feet when an inversion layer is over Southern California. (An inversion layer is formed when air at a higher altitude, say 3000 $\mathrm{ft}$ , is warmer than air atsea level, even though air normally is cooler with increasing altitude.) Estimate and interpret the average rate of change in temperature for the following changes in altitude. (a) 1000 to 3000 $\mathrm{ft}$ (b) 1000 to 5000 $\mathrm{ft}$ (c) 3000 to 9000 $\mathrm{ft}$ (d) 1000 to 9000 $\mathrm{ft}$ (e) At what altitude at or below 7000 ft is the temperature highest? Lowest? How would your answer change if 7000 ft is changed to $10,000$ ft? (f) At what altitude is the temperature the same as it is at 1000 $\mathrm{ft}$ ?

A convenience store manager notices that sales of soft drinks are higher on hotter days, so he assembles the data in the table. a) Which is the independent variable? b) Test for significant correlation. Ě‘ = 0.05 . c) Plot the data on a scatter diagram, and show all the details. d) Determine the linear regression equation. e) Draw the "line best fit" on your scatterplot. f) Estimate the number of cans sold when the temperature is 65"F . g) Interpret the coefficient of the independent variable. h) What is the correlation coefficient between the two variables? Interpret the value. i) What is the coefficient of determination? Interpret the value.
