When is it appropriate to model data with a linear function? Give an example of real-world data that can be modeled with a linear function. Include the linear function and a sample of the data.
It is appropriate to model data with a linear function when there is a linear relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. In other words, when the change in the dependent variable is directly proportional to the change in the independent variable.
One example of real-world data that can be modeled with a linear function is the relationship between the number of hours studied and the test score obtained. Let's say we have the following sample data:
Number of Hours Studied (x): [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Test Score (y): [60, 70, 75, 85, 90]
We can model this data using a linear function of the form y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope of the line and "b" represents the y-intercept. To find the equation of the linear function, we can use the method of least squares to find the best fit line that minimizes the sum of the squared differences between the observed data points and the predicted values on the line.
In this case, the linear function that models the data could be: y = 10x + 50. This means that for every additional hour studied, the predicted test score would increase by 10 points. The y-intercept of 50 indicates that a student who did not study at all would still be expected to score 50 on the test.
By using this linear function, we can estimate the test score for any given number of hours studied within the range of the data.
