We wish to predict the salary for baseball players (y) using the variables RBI (x1x1) and HR (x2x2), then we use a regression equation of the form ˆy=b0+b1x1+b2x2. HR - Home runs - hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error. RBI - Run batted in - number of runners who scored due to a batters's action, except when batter grounded into double play or reached on an error Salary is in millions of dollars. The following is a chart of baseball players' salaries and statistics from 2016. Player Name RBI's HR's Salary (in millions) Miquel Cabrera 108 38 28.050 Yoenis Cespedes 86 31 27.500 Ryan Howard 59 25 25.000 Albert Pujols 119 31 25.000 Robinson Cano 103 39 24.050 Mark Teixeira 44 15 23.125 Joe Mauer 49 11 23.000 Hanley Ramirez 111 30 22.750 Justin Upton 87 31 22.125 Adrian Gonzalez 90 18 21.857 Jason Heyward 49 7 21.667 Jayson Werth 70 21 21.571 Matt Kemp 108 35 21.500 Jacoby Ellsbury 56 9…
Suppose Tatiyana is interested in the relationship between language ability and time spent reading. She randomly selects a sample of 30 students from the local high school and collects their scores from a language aptitude test. She surveys the sample asking each student how many hours per month he or she spends reading. Using the sample data, Tatiyana produces a scatterplot with reading time on the horizontal axis and language test scores on the vertical axis. She develops a least squares regression equation where ? is the amount of time spent reading during the month and ?̂ is the predicted value of the language test score. ?̂=3.251x+31.237 Compute the value of ?̂ when a student spends 42 hours reading. Give your answer precise to one decimal place. Avoid rounding until the last step. ?̂= ? points Identify all of the true statements regarding the interpretation of ?̂ when ?=42. The value of ?̂ is ? a. the predicted number of students that read for 42 hours. b. the language test…
A box office analyst seeks to predict opening weekend box office gross for movies. Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. The least-squares regression equation for these data is Yi=−1.068+1.394Xi and the standard error of the estimate is SYX=19.412. Assume that the straight-line model is appropriate and there are no serious violations the assumptions of the least-squares regression model. Significance level at 0.05 .
