Follow this procedure: Pick a number. Add 10 to it. Multiply the sum by 2. Subtract 4 from the product. Divide by 2. Subtract 6 from the quotient. Follow the procedure above for the numbers 12 and 28. What do you notice about the relationship between the starting number and the final result?

• The final result is always 10 more than the starting number.
• The final result is always 2 more than the starting number.
• The final result is always 5 less than the starting number.

The Health Insurance Association of America provides data on the average daily room charge by U.S. hospitals as shown in the following table: Year 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 Daily Cost $127 $212 $297 a) Complete the table with the missing values. b) Identify any trends in the data. c) Predict whether this trend will persist beyond 2000.

The relationship between the length h of a humerus bone (the one connecting your shoulder to your elbow) and the height of a person is given by: Male: H = 2.89h + 27.81 Female: H = 2.75h + 28.14 a) A detective found a 15 inch humerus bone belonging to a male. 1) How tall was the male? 2) What would the difference in height be if you rounded the measurements in the original formula to the nearest whole number?

• 1) 71.16 inches, 2) 1.84 inches
• 53.00 inches, 2.50 inche

• 60.50 inches, 2.00 inche

If a female has a humerus bone measuring 15 inches, 1) What is her estimated height? 2) How would the height estimation change if the original formula's coefficients were rounded to the nearest whole number?

• Estimated height is approximately 6 feet 3 inches; with rounded coefficients, it is approximately 6 feet 5 inches.
• Estimated height is approximately 5 feet 8 inches; with rounded coefficients, it is approximately 5 feet 10 inches.
• Estimated height is approximately 5 feet 5 inches; with rounded coefficients, it is approximately 5 feet 7 inches.

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to maintain body temperature, breathe, and make your heart beat. To estimate the BMR, use the following formulas: Male: Multiply the body weight by 10; add twice the body weight to this value. Female: Multiply body weight by 10; add the body weight to this value. a) What is the BMR for a 150 lb. male? b) What is the BMR for a 120 lb. female?

• Male BMR: 1800, Female BMR: 1320
• Male BMR: 1500, Female BMR: 1200
• Male BMR: 1700, Female BMR: 1500
