A student has access to rainfall and sunshine data for a particular location over a period of 60 years. She randomly selected a sample of 25 months from the 720 months available, and noted for each month in the sample the total rainfall (in mm) and the total sunshine (in hours). She then performed a regression analysis. Part of the computer output is shown below:

A Realtor in Massachusetts is analyzing the relationship between the sale price of a home (in $), it's the square footage (in ft2), the number of bedrooms, the number of bathrooms, and a colonial dummy variable (colonial equals 1 if a colonial-style home; 0 otherwise). The relater collects data of 36 sales in Massachusetts for analysis. The attached file “quiz_dataset1” contains the data. Build a parsimonious linear regression model. Use the model to predict the price of a 2100 ft2 colonial style home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Select one: a. 570268.3 b. 554347.1 c. 535347.1 d. None of the above
The average gestational age (time from conception to birth) of a newborn infant is about 40 weeks. The following data presents the gestational age in weeks and corresponding mean birth weight in pounds for female infants born in Canada. Find the least-squares regression line for predicting the birth weight from the gestational age. You should be able to grab the data in the table, copy it, and paste it in Excel. You would then select the data in Excel, Insert a Scatter Chart and then under Trendline, check the two boxes at the bottom to display the equation and the R-squared. Gestational Age Birth Weight 36 6.1 37 6.6 38 7.0 39 7.4 40 7.7 41 7.9 42 8.0 43 8.1 A. y= 3.2787x + 15.402 B. y= 15.402x + 3.2787 C. y= 0.2857x - 3.9357 D. Y= 3.9357X + 0.2857
Many statistical textbooks define regression analysis as a statistical tool that is used mainly for description or prediction. Based on this statement, provide two examples of an application or applications using regression analysis for decision-making—one for description and one for prediction.

Many high school students take either the SAT or the ACT. However, some students take both. Data were collected from 100 students who took both college entrance exams. The average SAT score was 920 with a standard deviation of 170. The average ACT score was 20 with a standard deviation of 5. The correlation coefficient r between these two variables equals 0.82. To predict the SAT score from a student’s ACT score, what is the equation of the least-squares regression line? Please show your work.
