Special Rounding Instructions For this exercise set, round all regression parameters to three decimal places, but round all other answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
Magnitude and Distance Astronomers measure brightness of stars using both the absolute magnitude, a measure of the true brightness of the star, and the apparent magnitude, a measure of the brightness of a star as it appears from Earth. The difference between apparent and absolute magnitude should yield information about the distance to the star. The following table gives magnitude difference

- Using your graphing calculator, make a scatter plot of the data from the table. Then graph your model from Question 2 along with the data. How well does your model fit the data? What could you do to try to improve your model?arrow_forwardThe data provided give the number of standby hours based on total staff present, X₁, and remote hours, X₂. Perform a multiple regression analysis using the data provided and determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model. Is there reason to suspect the existence of collinearity? Click the icon to view the data. Determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model. | VIF ₂2 = VIF₁ = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is there reason to suspect the existence of collinearity? OA. No. The VIF for each independent variable is less than 5. B. Yes. The VIF for each independent variable is greater than 5. OC. No. The VIF for each independent variable is greater than 5. OD. Yes.

Letting a represent the number of years since 2005, and letting y represent the amount of money spent on football, in thousands of dollars, use the regression capabilities of a graphing calculator to find the equation of the line of best fit. Round values off to the nearest hundredth. Then, use your equation to make the following predictions. Year 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Dollars spent on football 165,000 196,000 210,000 226,000 242,000 279,000 The equation of the line of best fit is: Hint Predict the amount of money that will be spent on football in the year 2024. +A Predict the amount of money that will be spent on football in the year 2041.arrow_forwardRefer to the data set: (1, 2.5), (2.5, 15), (0.5, 2), (-2, 0.5), (0, 1), (1.5, 5)Part a: Make a scatterplot and determine which type of model best fits the data.Part b: Find the regression equation, round decimals to one place.Part c: Use the equation from Part b to determine y when x = 6.arrow_forward
