According to one model, the rate at which an animal's heart beats varies with its weight. Smaller animals tend to have faster pulses, whereas larger animals tend to have slower pulses. The table below lists average pulse rates in beats per minute (bpm) for animals with various weights in pounds (lb). Use regression (or some other method) to find values for a and b so that f(x) = ax models these data. a= Weight (lb) 40 Pulse (bpm) 142 150 400 1000 2000 70 45 29 19 (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Researchers at a large nutrition and weight management company are trying to build a model to predict a person’s body fat percentage from an array of variables. A variables selection method is used to build a regression model. SAS output for the final model is given in photo. Question: What percentage of the variation in percent body fat remains unexplained, even after introducing weight and abdomen circumference into the model, and then also determine the interpretation of the slope for weight?
Researchers are interested in predicting the height of a child based on the heights of their mother and father. Data were collected, which included height of the child (height ), height of the mother ( mothersheight), and height of the father (fathersheight ). The initial analysis used the heights of the parents to predict the height of the child (all units are inches). The results of the analysis, a multiple regression, are presented below. . regress height mothersheight fathersheight Source Model Residual Total height mothersheight fathersheight _cons SS df 208.008457 314.295372 37 2 104.004228 8.49446952 MS 522.303829 39 13.3924059 Coef.

Two variable are found to have a strong negative linear correlation. Pick the regression equation that best fits this scenario. y=0.82x−28 ˆy=0.32x−28 y= -0.82x+28 ˆy= -0.32x+28
A researcher is investigating possible explanations for deaths in traffic accidents. He examined data from 2000 for each of the 52 cities randomly selected in the US. The variables were death and income. Deaths: The number of deaths in traffic accidents per cityIncome: The median income per city The researcher ran a simple linear regression model: Deaths = Bo+B1(Income). Results shown in photo below. Question: Please help me better understand how to use results from photo to find value of R-squared of this simple linear regression model.
While collecting data on shoe sizes (y) compared to heights in inches (x) of male students in the class a student found that the shoe sizes ranged from size 7 to size 11 and the heights of the students ranged from 60 to 72 inches. The student ran a linear regression to get the function = 1 -x- 3 13 where y is the shoe size and is the height of the person in inches. What would be the shoe size for a student who was 73 inches tall? Shoe sizes only show up in incriments of 0.5 (ie. 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, ....) so round to the nearest 1/2 shoe size.

Develop a scatterplot and explore the correlation between customer age and net sales by each type of customer (regular/promotion). Use the horizontal axis for the customer age to graph. Find the linear regression line that models the data by each type of customer. Round the rate of changes (slopes) to two decimal places and interpret them in terms of the relation between the change in age and the change in net sales. What can you conclude? Hint: Rate of Change = Vertical Change / Horizontal Change = Change in y / Change in x
A box office analyst seeks to predict opening weekend box office gross for movies. Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. A linear regression was performed on these data, and the result is the linear regression equation Yi=−0.840+1.4108Xi. Determine the coefficient of determination,r2,and interpret its meaning. Determine the standard error of the estimate. How useful do you think this regression model is for predicting opening weekend box office gross? Can you think of other variables that might explain the variation in opening weekend box office gross?

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 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?
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? E Click the icon to view the table of regression equations. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The equation CITY = 6.65 - 0.00161WT + 0.675HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest adjusted value of R2. O B. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest value of R?. OC. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it uses all of the available predictor variables. O D. The equation CITY = - 3.14 + 0.823HWY is best because it has a low P-value and its R2 and adjusted R? values are comparable to…
