1. A college bookstore must order books two months before each semester starts. They believe that the number of books that will ultimately be sold for any particular course is related to the number of students registered for the course when the books are ordered. They would like to develop a linear regression equation to help plan how many books to order. From past records, the bookstore obtains the number of students registered, X, and the number of books actually sold for a course, Y, for 12 different semesters. These data are below. Show the complete table for your solutions. Semester Students Books 31 1 36 2 3 28 29 35 34 4 39 35 5 30 29 6 30 30 7 31 30 8 38 38 36 34 10 38 33 11 29 29 12 26 26

Suppose a study wants to predict the market price of a certain species of turtle (Y) based on the following independent variables indicated in the table. Based from the table, what is the equation of the multiple linear regression? (Round off up to two decimal places. Market Price = 0.07 - 0.40*weight + 1.51*length + 1.41*width + 0.80*age Market Price = - 0.40*weight + 1.51*length + 1.41*width + 0.80*age Market Price = 0.07 + 0.40*weight + 1.51*length + 1.41*width + 0.80*age Market Price = 0.07 - 0.40 + weight + 1.51 + length + 1.41 + width + 0.80 + age
17) Suppose that Y is normal and we have three explanatory unknowns which are also normal, and we have an independent random sample of 41 members of the population, where for each member, the value of Y as well as the values of the three explanatory unknowns were observed. The data is entered into a computer using linear regression software and the output summary tells us that R-square is 0.9, the linear model coefficient of the first explanatory unknown is 7 with standard error estimate 2.5, the coefficient for the second explanatory unknown is 11 with standard error 2, and the coefficient for the third explanatory unknown is 15 with standard error 4. The regression intercept is reported as 28. The sum of squares in regression (SSR) is reported as 90000 and the sum of squared errors (SSE) is 10000. From this information, what is the number of degrees of freedom for the t-distribution used to compute critical values for hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for the individual…
