Researchers conducted an observational study of automobile drivers and their cell phone use by manually observing traffic in heavily congested areas. They would record the amount of time they observed individual drivers on the phone while operating their vehicle in stop and go traffic and the number of accidents on a particular section of highway over the course of a month. The accompanying graph depict the data they recorded, each point represents a 1 mile section of heavily congested roads. From the data, which of these is a potentially valid conclusion? Cell-phone use while driving increases the rate of accidents. Car accidents and cell-phone use have no relationship. The increasing rate of car accidents causes increased Number of car accidents 10- 9- 8- 7- 6- 85- 3- 2- 0 ● 9 6 7 8 Average length of phone calls (minutes) 10

2. To help determine how many beers to stock the concession manager at Yankee Stadium wanted to know how the temperature affected beer sales. Accordingly, she took a sample of 10 games and recorded the number of beers sold and the temperature in the middle of the game.

How does the speed of a runner vary over the course of a marathon (a distance of 42.195 km)? Consider determining both the time to run the first 5 km and the time to run between the 35-km and 40-km points, and then subtracting the former time from the latter time. A positive value of this difference corresponds to a runner slowing down toward the end of the race. The accompanying histogram is based on times of runners who participated in several different Japanese marathons (“Factors AffectingRunners' Marathon Performance,” Chance, Fall, 1993: 24-30). What are some interesting features of this histogram? What is a typical difference value? Roughly what proportion of the runners ran the late distance more quickly than the early distance?

Alejandro is selling HDMI cables on eBay, and is trying to determine the best price to sell at. For the last 10 weeks, he has adjusted his price slightly each week and tracked the number of cables he sold. He plotted the results, and drew a line he feels fits the data well. Price ($) 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5 Quantity Sold - 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 a) The line of best fit passes through the points (3.50, 230) and (4.75, 210). Find an equation for the line. Use variables: p for price in dollars, and Q for quantity of cables sold. b) Using this model, predict the number of cables Alejandro would sell at a price of $3.65, to the nearest whole cable. cables
