Question
Use the regression line to make the appropriate prediction.
A random sample of records of electricity usage of homes in the month of July gives
the amount of electricity used and size (in square feet) of 135 homes. A regression
was done to predict the amount of eleçtricity used (in kilowatt-hours) (y) from size
(x). The residuals plot indicated that a inear model is appropriate. The model is y =
0.2x+ 1271. How much electricity would you predict would be used in a house that
is 2471 square feet?
494.2 kilowatt-hours
O 6000.00 kilowatt-hours
O 1765.2 kilowatt-hours
O 776.8 kilowatt-hours
3742.2 kilowatt-hours

Expert Solution
Step 1

regression is the relationship between dependent variable and independent variables 

here y dependent variable  is the amount of electricity used (kilowatt-hours)

x independent variables is the size  (square feet )

the predicted model is y= 0.2x+1271
