Get solution: Modeling Data Per capita consumptions (in gallons) of different types of

Chapter 13, Problem 29

(choose chapter or problem)

Per capita consumptions (in gallons) of different types of plain milk in the United States from 1999 through 2005 are shown in the table. Consumption of flavored milk, plain reduced-fat milk, and plain light and skim milks are represented by the variables x, y, and z, respectively. (Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture)

A model for the data is given by \(z=-0.92 x+1.03 y+0.02\).

(a) Find the total differential of the model.

(b) A dairy industry forecast for a future year is that per capita consumption of flavored milk will be \(1.9 \pm 0.25\) gallons and that per capita consumption of plain reduced-fat milk will be \(7.5 \pm 0.25\) gallons. Use dz to estimate the maximum possible propagated error and relative error in the prediction for the consumption of plain light and skim milks.
