Stopping Distances Revisited
In a study on speed and braking distance, researchers looked for a method to estimate how fast a person was traveling before an accident by measuring the length of the skid marks. An area that was focused on in the study was the distance required to completely stop a vehicle at various speeds. Use the following table to answer the questions.
| MPH | Braking distance (feet) |
| 20 | 20 |
| 30 | 45 |
| 40 | 81 |
| 50 | 133 |
| 60 | 205 |
| 80 | 411 |
Assume MPH is going to be used to predict stopping distance.
Find the linear regression equation.
What does the slope tell you about MPH and the braking distance? How about the y′ intercept?
Find the braking distance when MPH = 45.
Find the braking distance when MPH = 100.
Comment on predicting beyond the given data values.

How wide is the chasm between what
men and women eam in the workplace?
According to a 2015 analysis from a
national women's group, women
lose $435,049 over the course of a career
because of the pay gap. The bar graph to
the right shows the average earnings in
the United States for men and women at
ages 24 and 62. This exercise involves
the graphs of models for the data shown
in the rectangular coordinate system to
