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. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b0 and b1. Interpret the meaning of the slope, b1, in this problem. Predict the mean opening weekend box office gross for a movie that had 80 million online trailer views. What insights can be obtained about predicting opening weekend box office gross from online trailer views?
A pediatrician wants to determine the relationship that exists between achild’s height, x, and head circumference, y. She randomly selects 11 children from her practice, measures their heights and head circumferences, and conducts the least-squares regression analysis with the simple linear model using StatCrunch. The output is given below: (a) Write down the equation of the least-squares regression line treating height as the explanatory variable and head circumference as the response variable. (b) Interpret the slope and y-intercept, if appropriate. (c) Use the regression equation to predict the head circumference of a child who is 25 inches tall. Assume that the regression model is applicable.(d) It is observed that one child who is 25 inches tall has a head circumference of 17.5 inches. Is the observed value above or below average among all children with heights of 25 inches?
An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas use y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day’s degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65F) over a 23-month period. He then computed the least squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be, ŷ=85+16x How much, on average, does gas used increase for each additional degree-day? The predicted amount of gas used when the outside temperature is 20 degree- days.
An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65° F) over a 23-month period. He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be ŷ = 85 + 16x. The software used to compute the least-squares regression line for the equation above says that r2 = 0.98. This suggests which of the following? 1. Gas used increases by square root of 0.98 = 0.99 cubic feet for each additional degree-day? 2. Although degree-days and gas used are correlated, degree-days do not predict gas used very accurately. 3. Prediction of gas used from degree-days will be quite accurate.

An agronomist undertook an experiment to investigate the factors that potato harvest. In his research, agronomist decided to divide the farm into 30 half hectare plots and apply varies level of fertilizer. Potato was then planted and the harvest at the end of the season was recorded.

Find the coefficient of determination and interpret its value. 3. Does the model appear to be a useful tool in predicting the potato harvest? If so, predict the harvest when 250KG of fertilizer is applied. If not explain why not.
Draw a scatterplot of the right foot temperature (y) versus the left foot temperature (x). Then draw the least-squares regression line on the graph.
The least-squares regression equation is y=728.0x+14,705 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.8165. For every dollar increase in median income, the percent of adults having at least a bachelor's degree is ___%, on average. For a median income of $0, the percent of adults with a bachelor's degree is ____%.
The least-squares regression equation is y=784.6x+12,431 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7962. Predict the median income of a region in which 25% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.
