The data show the chest size and weight of several bears. Find the regression equation, letting chest size be the independent (x) variable. Then find the best predicted weight of a bear with a chest size of 48 inches. Is the result close to the actual weight of 418 pounds? Use a significance level of 0.05. Chest size (inches) 36 56 50 39 49 42 Weight (pounds) 296 570 501 353 487 385

Accountants at the Tucson firm, Larry Youdelman,CPAs, believed that several traveling executives were submittingunusually high travel vouchers when they returned from businesstrips. First, they took a sample of 200 vouchers submitted from the past year. Then they developed the following multiple-regres-sion equation relating expected travel cost to number of days on the road ( x1 ) and distance traveled ( x2 ) in miles:yn = +90.00 + +48.50x1 + +.40x2The coefficient of correlation computed was .68.a) If Donna Battista returns from a 300-mile trip that took herout of town for 5 days, what is the expected amount she shouldclaim as expenses?b) Battista submitted a reimbursement request for $685.

The relationship between sleep hours and overall happiness level on the next day was estimated as below in a linear format. (Happiness level is measured through a five-point scale: 1 = Extremely unhappy, 5 = Extremely happy) Overall happiness level = 0.27 * Sleep hours + 2.34 (The p-value for the coefficient of Sleep hours is 0.02.) Based on this equation, what is the expected happiness level of a person on a certain day, when he slept 7 hours the day before?
