Your presentation should be done in PowerPoint with Voice Over and should be 1 - 2 minutes in length.You are moving and need a rental truck. The rental company you have chosen charges a $70/day fee plus $0.20 for every mile you travel. Write a linear equation that expresses the total cost y, where x represents the number of miles you travel. Graph this equation. Then choose a number of miles, x, you travel that day and find the total cost of renting the truck.GradingThis activity will be graded using the Presentation Rubric.Course Outcomes (CO): 4Due Date: By 11:59 p.m. MT on SundayRubricPresentation RubricPresentation RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeMathematical Calculations20.0 ptsSuccessfully completes the calculations and includes required work.15.0 ptsIncludes required work, but there are one or two calculation errors.10.0 ptsDoes not have all necessary work shown and/or there are more than two calculation errors.0.0 ptsIncomplete or little progress shown.20.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomePresentation20.0 ptsIncludes a detailed explanation and analysis.

A finance manager employed by an automobile dealership believes that the number of cars sold in his local market can be predicted by the interest rate charged for a loan. Interest Rate (%) Number of Cars Sold (100s) 3 10 5 7 6 5 8 2 The finance manager performed a regression analysis of the number of cars sold and interest rates using the sample of data above. Shown below is a portion of the regression output. Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.998868 R2 0.997738 Coefficient Intercept 14.88462 Interest Rate -1.61538 Are there factors other than interest rate charged for a loan that the finance manager should consider in predicting future car sales? Is interest rate charged for a loan the most important factor to be considered in predicting future car sales? Explain your reasoning.The dealership's vice-president of marketing has requested a sales forecast at the prevailing interest rate of 7%. As finance manager, what reasons would you convey to the vice-president in recommending this forecasting model? Is the prediction of car sales at 7% a reflection of the current downturn in the economy? How might this impact the dealership's business?

Using survey data to calculate statistics can be extremely valuable, but you must also make sure that the sample and questions are unbiased. Design a pair of questions that are related to the same healthcare issue: one that is unbiased and another that would result in a bias in one direction or the other.   Examples: Do you think that the rate of type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? Given the large increase in childhood obesity in the United States, do you think that type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? Discuss why it is important to create a truly unbiased sample and survey questions.   Classmate #1Should people have the right to smoke?Since cigarettes are dangerous and have deadly side effects such as cancer, wouldn’t you agree that smoking should be controlled to save the lives of many?Discuss why creating a genuinely unbiased sample and survey question is essential.Biased survey questions use words and compositions in a way that influences a respondent’sanswer. Sometimes this is done intentionally, but most often, this occurs due to poorsurvey question design and evaluation. It is crucial to create a genuinely unbiased sample andsurvey question because Unbiased questions avoid leading words that may sway the responsespositively or negatively. They ensure your questions are fact-based, not opinion-based. Theytest only one thing at a time (Johnson, 2015). classmate #2Do you think depression diagnoses have increased since the start of COVID-19?Due to the decline of economic status and increase in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, do you think that depression diagnoses have increased?The aim of questionnaires is “to gather valid, reliable, unbiased and discriminatory data from a representative sample of respondents” (McColl & et al, 2001). In order for responses to be honest and not skewed, questions in surveys need to be concise and vague in a certain topic. When a survey becomes extensive with a lot of background information, it can cause the respondent to think in the way the survey is leaning towards rather than their own genuine opinion. This can create error and bias within a range of sources and therefore can’t be used to get factual evidence and statistics (McColl & et al, 2001). Interpretations of long, informational questions can skew a respondent’s thought process rather than have them answer through their own experience/mindset.
