An analyst determines the relationship between the time taken to perform a computer-triggered production function (Y), required memory to run the function (000 bytes) and amount of input (000 lines of data). The regression equation representing this relationship is determined to be:
Y1 = 11.43 + 1.26X 1 + 3.11X 2
12 For required memory of 25,000 bytes of data, and input of 8,000 lines of data, the estimated time to run the function is:
a. 14.233 minutes
b. 67.81 minutes
c. 73.69 minutes
d. 129.43 minutes
e. Not calculable without additional data.
13 For a run that required a memory of 15,000 bytes and input of 8,000 lines the time of the run is 54 minutes; this is:
a. 13 minutes less than expected.
b. 1.2 minutes less than expected.
c. 1.2 minutes more than expected.
d. Not calculable without additional data.
