Consider the following data for two variables, x and y.

Chapter 16.1, Problem 2E, Consider the following data for two variables, x and y.

Develop an estimated regression equation

  1. a. Develop an estimated regression equation for the data of the form y ^ = b 0 + b 1 x . Comment on the adequacy of this equation for predicting y.
  2. b. Develop an estimated regression equation for the data of the form y ^ = b 0 + b 1 x + b 2 x 2 . Comment on the adequacy of this equation for predicting y.
  3. c. Predict the value of y when x = 20.

You spilled water on your calculations from (a) and can't remember what your estimated regression parameters are. But you do have two possible estimated errors for each of your initial four observations:
** had to resubmit this question because the first time the data was duplicated and reflected incorrectly.  The table below gives the number of hours spent unsupervised each day as well as the overall grade averages for seven randomly selected middle school students. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x, for predicting the overall grade average for a middle school student based on the number of hours spent unsupervised each day. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

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=21,510-1230Age-0.035 Miles (a) If the age of the car was fixed and the mileage was increased by 10,000, 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.)
