Use the graphing calculator to find a Linear Regression Equation that models this data, rounding to the nearest hundredth. Then find the correlation coefficient and determine the type and strength of the relationship between year and average number of students. Let x = 3 represent the school year 1983-1984.
Now, use the full equation to estimate the year in which students should have no longer had to share (i.e. 1 student per computer). Does this prediction seem reliable?
1995, NO
Use the graphing calculator to find a Linear Regression Equation that models this data, rounding to the nearest hundredth. Then find the correlation coefficient and determine the type and strength of the relationship between year and personal consumption. Finally, use the equation to predict the personal consumption expenditures in 2010.

Use the graphing calculator to find a Linear Regression Equations that model the data, for men and for women, rounding to the nearest hundredth. Then find the correlation coefficient and determine the type and strength of the relationship between year and median salaries. Finally, use the equations to predict the salaries for men and women in the year 2010, and to predict the salaries for men and women in the year 2020. Then determine the amount of change in the salary gap from 2010 to 2020.
