A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between the happiness index (y) and lifeexpectancy in years of a given country (x). The results of the regression were: y^=a+bx ; a=-0.423 ,b=0.07
a. Write the equation of the Least Squares Regression line.b. Find the value for the correlation coefficient, r?c. If a country increases its life expectancy, the happiness index will Increase or decrease ( circleone)d. If the life expectancy is increased by 1 year in a certain country, how much will the happinessindex change? Round to two decimal places.e. Use the regression line to predict the happiness index of a country with a life expectancy of 85years. Round to two decimal places.-
A regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The least squares regression line is weight = -5.94 + 0.1875 length.
Explain in words what this model means (slop and intercept)
The new- born boy was 48 cm long, what is the predicted weight of this boy?
It is known that the boy is weighed 3 kg. what was his residual? What does that say about him?
A frequent flyer was interested in the relationship between dollars spent on flying and the distance flown. She sampled 20 frequent flyers of a certain airline. She collected the number of miles flown in the previous year and the total amount of money the flyer spent. A regression line of distance flown on money spent was fit to the data:
y^=24000+10x.
One person in the sample spent $3000 and flew 42,567 miles. What would be the residual (or error) in the predicted distance this person would fly?

- Researchers found a positive assodation between the students' performance in STAT 1000 and their first-year cumulative college GPA. Furthermore, STAT 1000 course GPA explained 62% of the variation in students'first-year cumulative college GPA.
