Question

Linear Algebra

The percentage of the white non-Hispanic electorate in the US (those who are eligible to vote in elections) has been declining as population demographics shift.According to data collected by the United States Elections Project(http://www.electproject.org/home/voter-turnout/demographics), the non-Hispanic white electorate has decreased from 1992 levels.

a) Complete the table showing year, years since 1994, and the percentage of the electorate consisting of non-Hispanic whites.

b) Create a scatter plot of this percentage versus years since 1992. Include a graph title and axis labels.

) Determine the equation of the linear regression line for this data. Calculate the coefficient of determination and the correlation coefficient. Is this line a good fit to the data? Explain.

d) Interpret the slope and intercept of the regression line in terms of the electorate. Use complete sentences.

e) Predict the non-Hispanic white share of the electorate in the year 2032.Show your work and express your answer as a complete sentence.

Question 52404

Linear Algebra

In an election campaign, the popularity, B, as a percent of voters, of the governing Blue party can be modelled by a function of time, t, in days throughout the campaign as B(t) = 40 - 0.5t. The popularity, R(t), of the opposing Red party can be modelled by a composite function of B(t),R(B(t)) = 20 + 0.75[40 – B(t)].
Graph B(t) and describe the trend.
