Use the function to predict the national debt for 2017. Look up the actual debt and compare it with the prediction from the regression function.
Using the function the predicted national debt for 2017 would be 21,938 trillion dollars
Use the function to predict when the national debt will reach 30 trillion dollars.
Based on the function the national deb t will reach 30 trillion dollars around the year 2021 (120.967) end of 2020

Which regression would be better to predict the annual premium for a sixty-four old-old person, and why? Answer in complete sentences.
Exponential, would be the more accurate projection because it follows the data points more consistantly, which should project the most accurate predictions.
Which regression would be better to predict the annual premium for a twenty-seven year-old person, and why? Answer in complete sentences.
Exponetial, would also be the best to determine the premiums for a 27 year old a liniar regression line would not predict the correct numbers for the data. The data for a 27 year old using the liniar regression would give us a negitive number.

a.
Use Excel to create a scatter plot of this data. Enter the minimum age in Column A and the premium in Column B. Highlight all the data and click the scatterplot icon in the Charts section of the Insert tab.
Click the chart when it is created to show the green plus in a box by the top-right corner of the chart. Click this to make a place to enter the Axis Titles, and to have Excel draw the proper Trendline. Click the triangle after Trendline and choose More Options . . . then select the Exponential option. Scroll to the bottom of the panel on the right and check Display Equation on chart.
b.
Excel gives the continuously compounded exponential equation
y = 42.012e 0.0657 x
with the rate of increase in the exponent. If this were given as annually compounded increase, the equation would be
=y 42.102 (1 + 0.0679
. The rate )ofxincrease is slightly different for continuous and annual compounding, but the results are essentially the same.

c. Use the equation to predict annual premium for a 20-year term-life insurance policy for a 45-year old person: y = 42.012e 0.0657 × 45 = $807.91. This prediction is about 30% more than the actual price paid by a 45-year old person. This difference between the actual value and the predicted value from the regression equation is called the residual. The regression equation is the result of mathematically minimizing the residuals of all the data values to a f

Assignment
For this project you will look at the 3 regression problems that follow. Work each of the 3 problems on a separate tab in Excel that is labeled appropriately. You should also use borders and shading options to present your tables neatly and organized. It is left for you and your creativity to make the work space visual appealing and easy to read. After completing all portions of this project save the worksheet in CANVAS to be evaluated.

1. The data at the right gives the US national debt in billions of dollars since 1930.*
a. Use Excel to make the scatterplot letting the year x = 30 represent the year 1930. Which regression model is suggested: Exponential, Linear, Logarithmic, Polynomial, Power or Other?
b. Have Excel find the regression function that best models the data.
c. Use the function to predict the national debt for 2017. Look up the actual debt and compare it with the prediction from the regression function.
