A sports statistician was interested in the relationship between game attendance (in thousands) and the number of wins for baseball teams. Information was collected on several teams and was used to obtain the regression equation ý = 4.9x + 15.2, where x represents attendance (in thousands) and y is the predicted number of wins. Which statenent best describes the meaning of the slope of the regression line? For each increase in attendance by 1,000, the predicted number of wins increases by 4.9. For each increase in attendance by 1,000, the predicted number of wins increases by 15.2. For each increase in the number of wins by 1, the predicted attendance increases by 4,900. For each increase in the number of wins by 1, the predicted attendance increases by 15,200.

The police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles. If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles. An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds: Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90 What is the IV? What is the DV? If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs? If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs? What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?
Imagine Daenerys Targaryen as a researcher concerned with the dragon species. The people of Westeros believed that dragons were decreasing in size due to captivity. Dragon size was normally measured as wingspan (meters) and captivity was normally measured in years. Daenerys used archival data and determined that the relationship between these two variables could be explained using the following regression equation: y-predicted = 453 - 2.5xInterpret this equation (i.e. What is its purpose? What is the intercept? What is the slope? What does it mean for dragons in Westeros?).

A real estate analyst has developed a multiple regression line, y = 60 + 0.068 x1 – 2.5 x2, to predict y = the market price of a home (in $1,000s), using independent variables, x1 = the total number of square feet of living space, and x2 = the age of the house in years. The regression coefficient of x2 suggests this: __________. If the square feet area of living space is kept constant, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted drop of $2500 in the price of the homes If the square feet area of living space is kept constant, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted increase of $2500 in the price of the homes Whatever be the square feet area of the living space, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted increase of $2500 in the price of the homes Whatever be the square feet area of the living space, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted drop of $2500 in the price of the homes
A sports-equipment researcher was interested in the relationship between the speed of a golf club (in feet per second) and the distance a golf ball travels (in yards). Information was collected on several golfers and was used to obtain the regression equation ŷ = 2x - 106, where x represents the club speed and ŷ is the predicted distance. Which statement best describes the meaning of the slope of the regression line? For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed increases by 2 ft/sec. For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed decreases by 106 ft/sec. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance increases by 2 yards. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance decreases by 106 yards.

There is a linear relationship between the number of chirps made by the stiped ground cricket and the air temperature. It was determined that the linear regression model is: y = 25.2 + 3.3x where x is the number of chirps per minute and y is the estimated temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. What is the predicted number of chirps made when the temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit? Round to the nearest integer. Do not include units.
