1. You work at a bank and are asked to recommend the amount of cash to put in an ATM each day. You don't want to put in too much (security) or too little (customer irritation). Here are the daily withdrawals (in 1000's of dollars) for a period of 30 days.

How well does the number of beers a student drinks predict his/her blood alcohol content?  A study was conducted at Ohio State University in which 10 students drank a randomly assigned number of cans of beer.  Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC).  The students were equally divided between men and women and differed in weight and usual drinking habits.  Here is the data:

Beers    5    2    9    8    3    7    6    5    1    4       
BAC    .10    .03    .19    .12    .04    .09    .10    .06    .01    .05

Here is a repeat of the data in ordered pairs form, just in case the table did not print well.
(5, .10);   (2, .03);   (9, .19);   (8, .12);   (3, .04);  
(7, .09);   (6, .10);   (5, .06);   (1, .01);   (4, .05)       

Make a scatterplot on your calculator showing number of beers against blood alcohol content to use for the following questions.

Generally, we think there are many factors other than the number of beers consumed that will contribute to an increase or decrease in blood alcohol content.

Give the statistical term given for these other factors and name 1 factor that you think will influence BAC.
