Basic MathSuppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature each day during the summer. The data are plotted with temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), as the explanatory variable and the number of ice bags sold that day as the response variable. The least squares regression (LSR) line for the data
is Y = -135.99 + 2.46X.
On one of the observed days, the temperature was 82 °F and 70 bags of ice were sold. Determine the number of bags of ice predicted to be sold by the LSR line, Ỹ, when the temperature is 82 °F. Enter your answer as a whole number, rounding if necessary.

Basic MathPedro wants to make a square pen for his goats. He plans
that the pen will have a perimeter of at most 60 ft and that
a side of the pen will be at least 10 ft long. He has enough
money to buy fencing for a pen as large as 40 ft on a side.
a. The inequality 4n ≤ 60 models the amount of fence
Pedro will use for a pen with side length n ft. Which
values from 10 to 40 are solutions of the inequality?
Write your answer using two inequalities.
b. What do the solutions mean about the amount of fence Pedro will buy?

Basic MathUntil recently, the Zika virus was a rare and mild public health concern and little was known about it. In early 2015, Brazil reported an epidemic of Zika viral infection. Reports soon followed of unusual numbers of neurological disorders such as microcephaly in newborns, a condition characterized by a very small head and poor brain growth.
(a) Explain why we cannot conclude from this information alone that Zika infections cause microcephaly in newborns.
Select the correct choice from the options.
We can conclude causality due to the sheer size of the study.
There may be a lurking variable that is causing an increase in both Zika infections and microcephaly in newborns. It
may not be Zika virus itself causing the increase of microcephaly in newborns.
Some Brazilians are known carriers of the Zika virus, and this prevents us from drawing any conclusions.
Correlation and regression lines describe only linear relationships, so no conclusions can be drawn.
