The relationship between the cost of a taxi ride (y) and the length of ride (x) is analyzed and is determined to be linear. The mean length was 3.9 miles with a standard deviation of 0.8 mile(s). The mean cost was $9.49 with a standard deviation of $1.7. The equation of the regression model is: �'=2.53+ 1.79 x Explain in context what the number 1.79 in the regression model means. Explain in context what the number 2.53 in the regression model means. You take a cab ride for 6 miles. What is the predicted charge

suppose that you want to conduct a study on the relationship between women's shoe sizes and their height, and you have collected samples of female undergraduates at your university. The mean height of women in your sample is 64 inches, with a standard deviation of 2 inches. The mean shoe size is 8, with a standard deviation of 1. The correlation between the shoe size and height in your sample is .05. What is the least squares estimate of the slope parameter in your regression model?

Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. What is the slope of the population regression line?
A pumpkin farmer wants to create a linear regression model to predict the circumference of a pumpkin (Y-variable) from its weight (X-variable). He samples 40 pumpkins from his pumpkin patch and the mean weight is 14 lbs with a standard deviation of 1 lb. The mean circumference is 50 inches with a standard deviation of 10 inches. The correlation between pumpkin weight and circumference is r = 0.50. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting circumference from weight? 7 1 5 3
Suppose the entering freshmen at a certain college have a mean combined SAT score of 1231 with a standard deviation of 122 In the first semester, these students attained a mean GPA of 2.64, with a standard deviation of 0.53. A scatterplot showed the association to be reasonably linear, and the correlation between SAT score and GPA was 0.47 How do i find the regression line using the equation
If you have a b of 0.56 in a regression equation, what does this mean? For every one-unit increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 in y r = .31 On average, the variability of real scores around the regression line is 0.56 For every 1 standard deviation increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 standard deviations in y
The mean height of American women in their twenties is about 64.3 inches, and the standard deviation is about 2.7 inches. The mean height of men the same age is about 69.9 inches, with standard deviation about 3.1 inches. Suppose that the correlation between the heights of husbands and wives is about r=0.5. What are the slope and intercept of the regression line of the husband’s height on the wife’s height in young couples? Interpret the slope in the context of the problem. Draw a graph of this regression line for heights of wives between 56 and 72 inches. Predict the height of the husband of a woman who is 67 inches tall and plot the wife’s height and predicted husband’s height on your graph. You don’t expect this prediction for a single couple to be very accurate. Why not
In a sample of cars reviewed by Motor Trend magazine, the mean horsepower (hp) was 150 hp with a standard deviation of 36 hp. The mean weight (lbs) was 2500 lbs with a standard deviation of 720 lbs. Assume the relationship between weight and horsepower is linear and has a correlation of r = +0.55. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable)? using the value of the slope you found, now compute the intercept of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable). 850 550 1150 250
Suppose the athletic director at a university would like to develop a regression model to predict the point differential for games played by the men's basketball team. A point differential is the difference between the final points scored by two competing teams. A positive differential is a win, and a negative differential is a loss. For a random sample of games, the point differential was calculated, along with the number of assists, rebounds, turnovers, and personal fouls. Use the data in the accompanying table attached below to complete parts a through e below. Assume a = 0.05. a) Using technology, construct a regression model using all three independent variables. y = __ + (_)x1 + (_)x2 + (_)x3 + (_)x4 b) Test the significance of each independent variable using a= 0.10. c) interpret the p-value for each independent variable. d) Construxt a 90% confidence interval for the regression coefficients for each independent variable and interpret the meaning. e) Using the results from…
Consider a certain data set on shoulder girth and height of a group of individuals. The mean shoulder girth is 107.20 cm with a standard deviation of 10.37 cm. The mean height is 171.14 cm with a standard deviation of 9.41 cm. The correlation between height and shoulder girth is 0.67. Write the equation of the regression line for predicting height.
Dr.Luo did a study about the relationship between political attitudes for husbands and wives for a sample of N = 8 married couples. The wives had a mean score of M = 7 with SS = 172, the husbands had a mean score of M = 9 with SS = 106, and SP = 122. i. Find the regression equation to predict husbands’ political attitude from the wives’ score ii. what percentage of variance in the husbands’ political attitudes is explained by their wives' scores? iii. Can Dr. Luo use the regression equation to make a prediction of a new husband’s political attitude based on his wife's attitude score? Make a conclusion based on the summary table of analysis of regression.
