Question
What is the correct interpretation of the slope of the​ least-squares regression line for​ males? Select the correct choice below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
 
 
A.
If the number of male licensed drivers increases by 1​ (thousand), then the number of fatal crashes increases by
nothing​,
on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
B.
If the number of fatal crashes increases by​ 1, then the number of male licensed drivers increases by
nothing
​thousand, on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
C.
If the average age of all male licensed drivers increases by​ 1, then the number of fatal crashes increases by
nothing​,
on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
D.
It does not make sense to interpret the slope.
What is the correct interpretation of the slope of the​ least-squares regression line for​ females? Select the correct choice below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
 
 
A.
If the number of fatal crashes increases by​ 1, then the number of female licensed drivers increases by
nothing
​thousand, on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
B.
If the number of female licensed drivers increases by 1​ (thousand), then the number of fatal crashes increases by
nothing​,
on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
C.
If the average age of all female licensed drivers increases by​ 1, then the number of fatal crashes increases by
nothing​,
on average.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
 
D.
It does not make sense to interpret the slope.
The slope of the regression line for males is
 
the same as
greater than
less than
that for females. This means that males tend to be involved in
 
as many fatal crashes as
more fatal crashes than
fewer fatal crashes than
females. An insurance company may use this information to argue for
 
higher rates for female customers.
equal rates for male and female customers.
higher rates for male customers.
​(c) Was the number of fatal accidents for 16 to 20 year old males above or below​ average? Was the number of fatal accidents for 21 to 24 year old males above or below​ average? Was the number of fatal accidents for males greater than 74 years old above or below​ average? How might an insurance company use this​ information? Does the same relationship hold for​ females?
The number of fatal accidents for 16 to 20 year old males was
 
below average.
above average.
The number of fatal accidents for 21 to 24 year old males was
 
below average.
above average.
The number of fatal accidents for males greater than 74 years old was
 
above average.
below average.
An insurance company could use it to argue for higher rates for
 
older
younger
drivers and lower rates for
 
younger
older
drivers.
Does the same relationship hold for​ females?
