Blood pressure: A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure, which is the maximum pressure taken when the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure, which is the minimum pressure taken at the beginning of the heartbeat. Blood pressure were measured, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), for a example of 16 adults. The following table presents the results.
b. Is it possible to interpret the y-intercept? Explain.c. If the systolic pressures of two patients differ by 10 mmHg, by how much would you predict their diastolic pressures to differ?d. Predict the diastolic pressure for a patient whose systolic pressure is 125 mmHg.
Review the data in the Table 1, entitled, "Average Annual Salaries for Bachelor of Science
Graduates, Summer 2016-Spring 2017".
Using this data, create a chart (with a title, labeled axes, and a legend) comparing the average salaries
that you could use to guide high school students who want salary influence the type of engineering
major that they will choose. Consider, which fields tend to make the most money?
Write a recommendation letter addressed to a high school student who wants to select an engineering
field based on the salary; using a comparison of the data, recommend which majors they should most
closely consider.

These strips are designed to filter out sediment, organic material, nutrients, and chemicals carried in runoff water. The figure [SEE PHOTO A] below shows a cross-sectional view of a grass buffer strip that has been planted along the side of a stream. A study in Nebraska investigated the use of buffer strips of several widths between 5 feet and 15 feet. The study results indicated a linear relationship between the width of the grass strip (x), in feet, and the amount of nitrogen removed from the runoff water (y), in parts per hundred.

People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person. Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation.
