A representative sample of 190 students resulted in a regression equation between y = left hand spans (cm) and x = right hand spans (cm). The least squares regression equation is y = 1.4 + 0.97 x. For a student with a right and left hand span of 24 cm, what is the value of the residual? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

The accompanying table shows results from regressions performed on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal). Which regression equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why? Click the icon to view the table of regression equations. Choose the correct answer below. A. The equation CITY=6.86 -0.00131WT -0.258DISP+0.659HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest value of R². B. The equation CITY=6.73 -0.00157WT +0.668HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest adjusted value of R². C. The equation CITY= -3.15+0.823HWY is best because it has a low P-value and its R² and adjusted R² values are comparable to the R² and adjusted R² values of equations with more predictor variables. O D. The equation CITY=6.86 -0.00131WT-0.258DISP + 0.659HWY is best because it…
A car lot wants to predict the # of car accessories they need to sell monthly based on the number of cars sold. The car lot owner randomly selects 12 months of data. The simple linear regression equation is ý = 14 - 2x. The coefficient of determination is 0.6364. What is the correlation coefficient to describe the relationship between these two variables?

A least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight=−5.59+0.1826 length. A newborn was 48 cm long and weighed 3 kg. According to the regression model, what was his residual? What does that say about him?
The multiple regression describes how the mean value of y is related to the xi independent variables. The parameters ?i are used to describe how the mean value of y changes for a one-unit increase in xi when the other variables are held constant. The given estimated regression equation follows where x1 is the high-school grade point average, x2 is the SAT mathematics score, and y is the final college grade point average. ŷ = −1.38 + 0.0232x1 + 0.00482x2 If the variable x2 is held constant, then only changes in x1 will impact the predicted values of ŷ. Since the coefficient of x1 is positive, for each one-unit increase of x1, the values of ŷ will increase by the value of ?1, where ?1 = . In context, for each one point increase of the high-school grade point average, the final college grade point average will increase by this amount when the SAT mathematics score does not change. If the variable x1 is held constant, then only changes in x2 will impact the predicted values of ŷ. Since the…
please use this situation: A small theater company has a linear regression model to estimate y = the concession stand sales in dollars, based on knowing x = the number of people in attendance. The regression equation is: = 6.72x + 11.50 and the correlation coefficient was r = 0.781. The data set saw the number of people in attendance ranging from a minimum of 18 people to a maximum of 170 people. 1) How reliable would it be to make a prediction for the concession sales amount if there were 500 people in attendance? Explain.

A least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight = -5.25 +0.1696 length. A newborn was 48 cm long and weighed 3 kg. According to the regression model, what was his residual? What does that say about him?
A financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a. Develop the least squares estimated regression equation. (Let x = Market Index % Return (as a %), and let y = Company % Return (as a %). Round your numerical values to four decimal places.)
