New test - June 20, 2017 [75 marks]

An environmental group records the numbers of coyotes and foxes in a wildlife reserve after t years, starting on 1 January 1995 .

Let c be the number of coyotes in the reserve after t years. The following table shows the number of coyotes after t years.

The relationship between the variables can be modelled by the regression equation c = at + b.

[3 marks]
1a. Find the value of a and of b.

1b. Use the regression equation to estimate the number of coyotes in the reserve when t = 7. [3 marks]

1c. Let f be the number of foxes in the reserve after t years. The number of foxes can be modelled by the equation f = 1+99ekt
,
where k is a constant.

Find the number of foxes in the reserve on 1 January 1995.
