Concur Technologies Inc is a large expense-management company located in Redmond Washington. The wall street Journal asked Concur to examine the data from 8.3 million expense reports to provide insights regarding business travel expenses. Their analysis of the data showed that New York was the most expensive city with an avg daily hotel room rate of $198 and an avg amount speny on entertainment, including group meals and tickets for shows sports and other events of $172 in comparison the U. S averages for these two categories were $89 for the room rate and $99 for entertainment the following table shows the average daily hotel room rate and the amount spent on the entertainment for a sample of 9 of the 25 most visited U.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variables

X: daily hotel room rate

Y: amount spent on the entertainment

See second attachment for scatter plot.

The population regression equation is E(Yi)= α + βXi

To estimate the y-intercept and the slope of the regression equation you have to apply the following formulas:

a= Y[bar]-bX[bar]

n= 9; ∑X= 945; ∑X²= 103325; ∑Y= 1134 ∑Y²= 148804; ∑XY= 123307

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 945/9= 105

Y[bar]= ∑Y/n= 1134/9= 126

a= 126 - 1.03*105= 17.49

^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi

Slope interpretation: The estimated average amount spent on entertainment increases 1.03 every time the daily hotel room rate increases one unit.

If the room rate for Chicago is $128 (X), to predict the mount spent in entertainment (Y) you have replace it in the estimated regression line:

^Y= 17.49 + 1.03Xi= 17.49 + 1.03*128= 149.33

The expected amount spent on entertainment for Chicago is $149.33

I hope this helps!

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
