I will pay for the following essay Math Project: In this project you will collect and analyze information about how the winning times in an Olympic Event change over time. The essay is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

The scatterplot and superimposed regression line indicate that the winning times for the 4-Man Bobsled event has seen a downward trend. That is, bobsled teams are winning the event with less time as the years go by. Moreover, the scatterplot provides evidence that a linear model would be an appropriate representation of the data because a line may be fitted to approximate the data points.

Since the Olympics occurs every four years, it may be more accurate to multiply the value of the slope by 4 before interpreting it. As such, we arrive with -0.1584, which represents the number of minutes by which the winning time differs every Olympics. That is, if the winning time for the most recent Olympics is x minutes, the winning time for the next Olympics would be x – 0.1584 minutes. Further, the y-intercept for this data represents the first winning time, that is, the winning time in 1924.

To find the winning time in the Men’s 4-Man Bobsled event for the next Olympics, which is in 2012, we subtract 1924 from 2012 to find the value for t. Thus, t = 2012 – 1924 = 88. Plugging in the value to our regression model, we get:

This means that around 148 years from 1924, that is, during the 2072 Olympics, the Men’s 4-Man Bobsled event will be won in literally no time at all. Naturally, such a value and interpretation does not make sense because it would mean that the winning team will be able to complete the laps in zero minutes, which for now, is an impossible
