1.) Graph “year” versus “# AIDS cases diagnosed” (plot the scatter plot). Do not include pre-1981 data. In excel using formula's
2.) Find the regression equation, Interpret slope, Find r. and Describe linear correlation.
3.) When x = 1985, ŷ = _____
When x = 1990, ŷ =_____
When x = 1970, ŷ =______ Why doesn’t this answer make sense?
4.) What does the correlation imply about the relationship between time (years) and the number of diagnosed AIDS cases reported in the U.S.?

write C++ program using functions
(separate function for each bottom)
Write a program to find if a number is large word for two given bottom base - bottom1 and bottom2. You can predict that a number, when converted to any given base shall not exceed 10 digits. .
the program should ask from user to enter a number that it
should ask to enter the base ranging from 2 to 16 after that it
should check if the number is palindrom or not
Sample Input:
A number is called a word if it's represented in its bottom.
e.g. Let bottom1 = 6 and bottom2 = 2 as it is not a word
in base 5(1010)(as the reciprocal of the number isnt a
palindrome).
bottom is base of a number
take bases as input from user
bases can go from decimal-hexadecimal.
for bottom1 = 3 & bottom2 = 4, then the number 130 (in base 10) will be called a large_word, as it is word in bottom 3 (11211) as well as in bottom 4 (2002). However, it is not a large_word for bottom1 = 3 and bottom2 = 5 as it is not a word in bottom 5(1010).
Number: 51
bottom(base) 1: 6
bottom(base) 2: 2
Sample Output:
51 is not large word
hint:
bottom is basically base of a number
A large _word is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same reverse or straightward.
word==palindrome
use function in the program at all time
