24. The model for the number of wildfires (in thousands) and years since 1982 is expressed by Fires = 153.837 - 3.4556 Year. What does the model predict as the number of fires that occurred in 2002? a. 84.725 fires b. -6363.87 fires c. 84,725 fires d. -6.363 fires 25. The linear model for predicting a car's gas mileage (in mpg) using the output of the car's engine (in horsepower) is Mileage = 46.87 - 0.084 Horsepower. Describe the intercept in context. a. A car with zero gas mileage has horsepower of 557.98. b. A car with no horsepower is predicted to have gas mileage of 46.87 mpg. c. A car with no horsepower has no mileage. d. For each additional unit of horsepower, a car's mileage is decrease by 0.084 mpg 26. The regression model for the amount of fiber (in grams) and the potassium content (in [milligrams) of servings of breakfast cereals is Potassium = 38 + 27 Fiber. Describe the slope in context. a. For every 27 grams of fiber, there is another 38 milligrams of potassium. b. If there is 38 ralligrams of potassium, there is predicted to be 27 grams of fiber. G. For every 27 more milligrams of potassium, there is an additional gram of fiber. d. If there is 1 milligram of potassium, there is predicted to be 27 grams of fiber. 27. This is the scatterplot linking the number of puffs required to blow up a balloon with the diameter of the balloon with each puff. Find the equation that models these points. a. puffs = 2+3 -diameter 10 b. diameter = 2+ 10 Puffs Diameter (in) c. diameter = 2+ - puffs d. puffs = 2+ - diameter 2 3 number of puffs MTHH 041 Unit 2 Evaluation 158
