A study was conducted to examine the quality of fish after seven days in ice storage. For this study: Y = measurement of fish quality (on a 10 point scale with 10 = BEST.); X = # of hours after being caught that the fish were packed in ice. The regression line is: y-hat = 8.5−.5x. From this we can say that:     A one hour delay in packing the fish in ice increases the estimated quality by .5     A one hour delay in packing the fish in ice decreases the estimated quality by .5     If the estimated quality increases by 1 the fish have been packed in ice two hours later.     If the estimated quality increases by 1 then the fish have been packed in ice one hour sooner.     Can’t really say until we see a plot of the data.

Question

A study was conducted to examine the quality of fish after seven days in ice storage. For this study: Y = measurement of fish quality (on a 10 point scale with 10 = BEST.); X = # of hours after being caught that the fish were packed in ice. The regression line is: 
y-hat = 8.5−.5x. From this we can say that:

   

A one hour delay in packing the fish in ice increases the estimated quality by .5

   

A one hour delay in packing the fish in ice decreases the estimated quality by .5

   

If the estimated quality increases by 1 the fish have been packed in ice two hours later.

   

If the estimated quality increases by 1 then the fish have been packed in ice one hour sooner.

   

Can’t really say until we see a plot of the data.
