Question
The Cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle, known for its
relatively high resale value. The bivariate data given below were taken
from a sample of sixteen Cadets, each bought new two years ago, and
each sold used within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we
have listed both the mileage x (in thousands of miles) that the Cadet had
on its odometer at the time it was sold used and the price y (in
thousands of dollars) at which the Cadet was sold used. With the aim of
predicting the used selling price from the number of miles driven, we
might examine the least-squares regression line, y=41.57 – 0.49.x. This line is
shown in the scatter plot in Figure 1.

1. Fill in the blank: For these data, used selling prices that are greater
than the mean of the used selling prices tend to be paired with
mileages that are.
Choose one
the mean of the mileages.
2. Fill in the blank: According to the regression equation, for an
increase of one thousand miles in Cadet mileage, there is a
corresponding
price.
Choose one
of 0.49 thousand dollars in the used selling
3. From the regression equation, what is the predicted used selling
price (in thousands of dollars) when the mileage is 23.8 thousand
miles? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
4. From the regression equation, what is the predicted used selling
price (in thousands of dollars) when the mileage is 25.3 thousand
miles? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
