What is regression analysis? Describe the process of performing regression analysis on a graphing utility.
A 10-year study conducted by the American Heart Association provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking related to the risk of strokes. The data file “Stroke.xslx” includes a portion of the data from the study. The variable “Risk of Stroke” is measured as the percentage of risk (proportion times 100) that a person will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. Regression Analysis As Image: 1) Based on the simple regression analysis output, write the estimated regression equation. 2) What is the correlation coefficient between Risk of Stroke and Age? How do you find i
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) Interpret the slope of the regression equation in the context of the problem. If it would make sense, interpret the y-intercept and if it doesn’t make sense to do that say why.
RaceJA started manufacturing race cars four years ago. The company wants to know the relationship between the number of workers on its assembly line and the number of cars they can make in a week. A research team collected the following data presented in the table below: Number of Workers (X) Number of cars produced (y) 2 10 7 15 15 50 20 100 Derive a regression formula using the data in the table and determine how many cars will be produced by 100 workers.
If the slope of the fitted regression line is -0.91, then describe the relationship between two variables: Demand in number of units (y) and price in dollars (x). (Provide one or two sentences and use the variable names properly in the answer).

The table below shows the amounts of crude oil (in thousands of barrels per day) produced by a country and the amounts of crude oil (in thousands of barrels per day) imported by a country, for the last seven years. Construc and interpret a 90% prediction interval for the amount of crude oil imported by the this country when the amount of crude oil produced by the country is 5,542 thousand barrels per day. The equation of the regression line is y = - 1.248x + 16,547.218.

Explain.
Data was collected on the weight of trash in a household(in lbs.) and the number of people in the household. The equation of the linear relationship between the variables is given as Trash = 2.34+ 11.30( People ) Interpret the slope of the regression line in terms of the problem. Predict the weight of trash in a household of 5 people. If the correlation coefficient is r = 0.877, find the proportion of variation in the weight of trash based on its linear relationship with the number of people in the household. Does this value make you comfortable making predictions?
Data on the average Scholastic Aptitude Test verbal and mathematics scores for high school seniors in each of the fifty states show a strong straight-line association. The regression line for predicting a state’s average math score (y) from the average verbal score (x) is y = 1.03x – 15 a. The average SAT verbal score in New York was 433. Use the regression line to predict New York’s average math score.
