To determine which option could use both intercepts to produce viable solutions, we need to find an example where both the intercepts make sense in the given context.
Let's analyze each option:
1. Responses (number of nominations, number of awards):
- Intercepts: If there are zero nominations, it is reasonable to assume that there will be zero awards. Similarly, if there are zero awards, it suggests that there were no nominations.
- This option can use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
2. (number of nominations, number of awards):
- This is the same option as option 1. We have already analyzed its viability.
3. (age, weight):
- Intercepts: A person's age of 0 may be interpreted as a newborn, where their weight might be close to zero. Similarly, a person with zero weight is typically newborn or non-existent, therefore age might be close to zero.
- This option can use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
4. (age, weight):
- This is the same option as option 3. We have already analyzed its viability.
5. (temperature, number of car rentals):
- Intercepts: If the temperature is zero, it suggests that the weather might be extremely cold and therefore fewer car rentals might occur. Similarly, if there are zero car rentals, it indicates that the temperature might be very high or very low.
- This option can use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
6. (years of experience, starting salary):
- Intercepts: If someone has zero years of experience, it is reasonable to assume that their starting salary may also be zero. Similarly, if the starting salary is zero, it suggests that the person might be a beginner with zero years of experience.
- This option can use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
Thus, options 1, 3, 5, and 6 can use both intercepts to produce viable solutions.
