The following table shows the length, in centimeters of the humerus and the total wingspan, in
centimeters, of several pterosaurs, which are extinct flying reptiles. (A graphing calculator is
recommended.)
(a) Find the equation of the least-squares regression line for the data. Round constants to the
nearest hundredth.
(b) Use the equation from part (a) to determine, to the nearest centimeter, the projected wingspan of
a pterosaur if its humerus is 55 centimeters.

In a study of sales, a company obtained the following least square trend
equation :
Y = 16 + 2X
(Origin, 1985, X unit
1
year Y unit
total number of units sold per year) :
The company has a physical capacity of producing only 30 units a year and
it believes that at least for the next decade the trend will continue as before.
(i) What is the average annual increase in the number of units ?

- The SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT.
