Consider the following data. Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg). The following information is based on data taken from Consumer Reports (Vol. 62, No. 4). x 25 44 32 47 23 40 34 52 29 y | 33 22 23 13 17 21 14 A USE SALT Given the least squares line ŷ = 43.8915 - 0.6031x: (a) Make a residual plot for the least-squares model.

College Graduation Rates. Data from the College Results Online website compared the 2011 graduation rate and median SAT score for 92 similar-sized public universities and colleges in the United States. The scatterplot below shows the relationship between these two variables along with the least squares fit. Round all calculated results to 4 decimal places. I ONLY need help with question 6.

According to a study conducted by a statistical organization, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their lives is 0.88. Suppose that a random sample of 100 people is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Suppose the random sample of 100 people is asked, "Are you satisfied with the way things are going in your life?" Is the response to this question qualitative or quantitative? Explain. A. The response is qualitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not. B. The response is quantitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. C. The response is quantitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not. D. The response is qualitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. (b) Explain why the sample proportion, p, is a random variable. What is the source…
