Use the given data to find the best predicted value of the response variable (a) Nine pairs of data yield r = 0.867 and the regression equation y = 19.4 + 0.93x. Also, y = 64.7. What is the best predicted value of y for x = 44? (b) Six pairs of data yield r = 0.444 and the regression equation y = 5x + 2. Also, y = 18.3. What is the best predicted value of y for x = 5?

Is CEO compensation related to a company's performance? To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on 12 randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted x ) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted y ). For these 12 companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was =y+−0.1650.046x , and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 0.028 . Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope β1 . (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…
In a fisheries researcher's experiment, the correlation between the number of eggs in the nest and the number of viable (surviving) eggs for a sample of nests is r = 0.67. The equation of the regression line for number of viable eggs y versus number of eggs in the nest x is y = 0.72x + 17.07. For a nest with 140 eggs, what is the predicted number of viable eggs?
A car dealer wants to estimate the price of a used car based on the age of the car and the mileage. Based on a sample of 20 cars, she determines the sample regression equation that predicts price taxes on the basis of the age (in years) of the number of miles is Price=21,619-1022Age-0.03 Miles (a) If the age of the car was fixed and the mileage was increased by 10,000, how much would the price increase or decrease and by how much? (b) Predict the selling price of a five-year-old car with 65,000 miles. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
If I want to estimate the regression of a model by using OLS on Eveiws , and I chose the "keep it as general as possible" approach, what tests can I apply through the estimation and inference process to validate the model and the variables?

The average number of passing yards per attempt for the New York Jets during the 2011 season was 6.5, and the team’s number of interceptions thrown per attempt was 0.033. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict the percentage of games won by the New York Jets during the 2011 season. (Note: For the 2011 the 2011 season, the New York Jets' record was 7 wins and 9 loses.
