Best known for its testing program, ACT, Inc. also compiles data on a variety of issues in education. In 2012 the company reported that the national college freshman-to-sophomore retention rate at four-year colleges was about $80.0 \%$. Consider colleges with freshman classes of 400 students. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to describe the sampling distribution model for the percentage of those students we wish to return to that school for their sophomore years. Do you think the suitable conditions are met?

The scatter plot shows the number of college students in the United States, in thousands, enrolled exclusively in online education from $2002$ through $2007$. Also shown is a line that passes through or near the six data points.
a. According to the graph, what is the $y$-intercept? Describe what this represents in this situation.
b. Use the coordinates of the two points shown to compute the slope. What does this represent in terms of the rate of change in the number of students enrolled exclusively in online education?
c. Use the $y$-intercept shown and the slope from part (b) to write a linear function that models the number of college students enrolled exclusively in online education, $L(x)$, in thousands, $x$ years after $2002$.
d. Use the function from part (c) to predict the number of college students who will be enrolled exclusively in online education in $2012$.

Examine education opportunities related to food production and service.

(a) state whether the problem relates to an ordinary annuity or an annuity due and then (b) solve the problem.

A sinking fund is established by a working couple so that they will have $\$ 60,000$ to pay for part of their daughter's education when she enters college. If they make deposits at the end of each $3$-month period for $10$ years and if interest is paid at $12 \%$ compounded quarterly, what size deposits must they make?

A man wishes to set aside some money for his daughter's college education. His goal is to have a savings account containing an amount equivalent to $20,000 in today's dollars at the girl's 18$^{th}$birthday . The estimated inflation rate is 8$^{th}$ birthday?

The AFL-CIO has undertaken an analysis of 30 secretaries' yearly salaries (in thousands of dollars). The organization wants to predict salaries from several other variables. The variables to be regarded as potential predictors of salary are:

$\mathrm{X} 1=$ months of service $\mathrm{X} 2$ = years of education $\mathrm{X} 3=$ score on standardized test $\mathrm{X} 4=$ words per minute (wpm) typing speed $\mathrm{X} 5=$ ability to take dictation in words per minute A multiple regression model with all five variables was run on a computer package, resulting in the following output.

$$\begin{array}{lllc}\text { Variable } & \text { Coeff } & \text { Std. Error } & \text { t-value } \\ \text { Intercept } & 9.788 & 0.377 & 25.960 \\ \text { X1 } & 0.110 & 0.019 & 5.178 \\ \text { X2 } & 0.053 & 0.038 & 1.369 \\ \text { X3 } & 0.071 & 0.064 & 1.119 \\ \text { X4 } & 0.004 & 0.0307 & 0.013 \\ \text { X5 } & 0.065 & 0.038 & 1.734\end{array}$$

Suppose that the residual plots indicate no violations of the conditions for using a linear regression model.

b) From this model, what is the predicted salary (in thousands of dollars) of a secretary with 10 years (120 months) of experience, 9th-grade education (9 years of education), 50 on the standardized test, $60 \mathrm{wpm}$ typing speed, and the ability to take 30 wpm dictation?

A survey shows an increase in drug use by young people. In the ensuing debate, two hypotheses are proposed:

$$\bullet$$

Reduced police efforts have increased the availability of drugs on the street.

$$\bullet$$

Cutbacks in education efforts have decreased awareness of the dangers of drug addiction. a. Use supply-and-demand diagrams to show how each of these hypotheses could lead to an increase in quantity of drugs consumed. b. How could information on what has happened to the price of drugs help us to distinguish between these explanations?

Sociologists have estimated how a person’s “status” in society (as perceived by others) depends on the person’s income and education level. One estimate is that status S depends on income i according to the formula $S(i)=16 \sqrt{i}$ (for $i \geq 0)$, and that status depends upon education level e according to the formula $.S(e)=\frac{1}{4} e^{2}$ (for $e \geq 0$. a. Sketch the graph of the preceding function S(i). b. Is the curve concave up or down? What does this signify about the rate at which status increases at higher income levels?
