A frequent flyer was interested in the relationship between dollars spent on flying and the distance flown. She sampled 20 frequent flyers of a certain airline. She collected the number of miles flown in the previous year and the total amount of money the flyer spent. A regression line of distance flown on money spent was fit to the data: y^=24000+10x. One person in the sample spent $3000 and flew 42,567 miles. What would be the residual (or error) in the predicted distance this person would fly?

The following data table shows the historical data for the first semester 2020, of the amount of sales of the company "IRC", which sells sneakers. Utilizing multiple lineal regression (as shown on the image), find an equation that estimates the number of sneakers sold by the company, based on advertising and revenue. Also, determine the standard error of estimation, the coefficient of determination, and the correlation coefficient. Write down what was the quantity in thousands sold in July if the amount of ads was 8 and the income for each unit was $135
A social scientist collects information about counties in California and finds that the correlation between average income of the county and a rating of healthcare quality in the county is 0.78. A scatterplot of the two variables is football shaped. A particular county has an average income that is 0.4 SDs above the average of all counties. Using regression, we would predict that its healthcare quality is _________ SDs above the average healthcare quality for all counties, and that it is therefore at the _________ percentile of healthcare quality among all counties. Choose the answer below to fill in the two blanks. Group of answer choices 0.31; 24th 0.78; 58th 0.78; 79th 0.31; 62nd PreviousNext
The new manager of an Information Technology company collected data for a sample of 20 computer programmers in the organization to perform a multiple regression analysis on the structure of their salaries. The aim of this manager in this exercise is to determine if the Salary (y) of a hired computer programmer was related to the years of Experience () in the organization and also the Score () of the programmers during their first interview aptitude test scores. The years of experience, score on the aptitude test and the corresponding annual salary (in thousands of Ghana cedis) for a sample of the 20 programmers is shown in the Regression statistics table below; Experience () (in years) Score () (out of 100%) Salary (y) (GH¢ 000) 4 78 24 7 100 43 1 86 23.7 5 82 34.3 8 86 35.8 10 84 38 0 75 22.2 1 80 23.1 6 83 30 6 91 33 9 88 38 2 73 26.6 10 75 36.2 5 81 31.6 6 74…

The table below gives the number of hours spent unsupervised each day as well as the overall grade averages for seven randomly selected middle school students. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x, for predicting the overall grade average for a middle school student based on the number of hours spent unsupervised each day. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.
