Question

As the table shows, projections indicate that the percent of adults with diabetes could dramatically increase.Answer parts a. through c.

Answer 1

Given the table, we should generate a new table with x=0 for the year 2000

The table is shown below:

The graph of the table above is shown below:

Seeing that the graph is linear, it would take the form:

y = ax + b

Using the regression calculator, the constant terms are:

a = 0.5077

b = 10.692

The regression equation is thus:

y = 0.508x + 10.692
