The following data (see below) on Diabetes cases in US since 1992
1.Find the equation of the line and predict the number of cases 40 years from 1992 in 2032 using the data below.
.
Does the data fit a linear function using the r value and the critical value test Table II ? 70 pts
2. Take the number of cases in (2012,.20 years from 1992) and calculate what % of the total US population has diabetes and then take the estimated value for 2032 ( 40 years from 1992) and calculate what % is that of the total US population. ( note have to look up US Census and find present US population and population projections for 2032 ) Compare the two percentages . Are the % the same or different? - 20 pts
