Question

A study was done to look at the relationship between number of movies people watch at the theater each year and the number of books that they read each year. The results of the survey are shown below.

 

Movies 8 2 7 9 9 2 0 7 4 4 9
Books 0 8 0 0 0 4 9 0 1 0 0
  1.  Interpret r2r2 :  
    • 70% of all people watch about the same number of movies as they read books each year.
    • There is a 70% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the number of books people read based on the number of movies they watch each year.
    • Given any fixed number of movies watched per year, 70% of the population reads the predicted number of books per year.
    • There is a large variation in the number books people read each year, but if you only look at people who watch a fixed number of movies each year, this variation on average is reduced by 70%.
  2. The equation of the linear regression line is:   
    ˆyy^ =   + xx    (Please show your answers to two decimal places)  

  3. Use the model to predict the number of books read per year for someone who watches 6 movies per year.
    Books per year =  (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
