In the following time series linear regression equation, t is time in quarters and y is revenue in thousands of dollars. ýt= = 443.2 - 59.51Qtr1 – 59.42Qtr2+78.87Qtr3 Interpret the regression coefficient for the Qtr2 variable. On average, revenue is $59.42 thousand less in Quarter 2 as compared to Quarter 4 each year. Quarter 2 revenue decreases by $59.42 thousand as revenue values in Quarters 1, 2, and 4 increase. Revenue decreases by $59.42 thousand on average every Quarter 2. As time increases by one quarter, revenue decreases by $59.42 thousand on average.

A sports-equipment researcher was interested in the relationship between the speed of a golf club (in feet per second) and the distance a golf ball travels (in yards). Information was collected on several golfers and was used to obtain the regression equation ŷ = 2x - 106, where x represents the club speed and ŷ is the predicted distance. Which statement best describes the meaning of the slope of the regression line? For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed increases by 2 ft/sec. For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed decreases by 106 ft/sec. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance increases by 2 yards. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance decreases by 106 yards.
The data show the bug chirps per minute at different temperatures. Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the independent (x) variable. Find the best predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute. Use a significance level of 0.05. What is wrong with this predicted value?

What is the best-predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute? The best predicted temperature when a bug is chirping at 3000chirps per minute are? What is wrong with this predicted value? Choose the correct answer below. A. It is unrealistically high. The value 3000 is far outside of the range of observed values. B. The first variable should have been the dependent variable. C. It is only an…
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.

Data from 147 colleges from 1995 to 2005 (Lee,2008) were tested to predict the endowments (in billions) to a college from the average SAT score of students attending the college. The resulting regression equation was Y = -20.46 + 4.06 (X). This regression indicates that: a. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 4.06 billion more in endowments. b. most colleges have very high endowments. c. for every one-point increase in SAT scores, a college can expect 20.46 billion fewer in endowments. d. for every one-dollar increase in endowments, the college can expect a half-point increase in SAT scores.
A particular article used a multiple regression model to relate y = yield of hops to x, = average temperature (°C) between date of coming into hop and date of picking and x, = average percentage of sunshine during the same period. The model equation proposed is the following. y = 415.11 – 6.6x1 – 4.50x2 +e (a) Suppose that this equation describes the actual relationship. What mean yield corresponds to a temperature of 20 and a sunshine percentage of 40? (b) What is the mean yield when the average temperature and average percentage of sunshine are 19 and 44, respectively?
Jackson finds that the heavier a person is, the higher his pulse rate tends to be. A linear regression model he built suggests that 20-kilogram differences in weight correspond to differences in pulse rate of 5 beats per minute. Which of the following must be true and explain your answer. (I) The correlation coefficient between body weight and pulse rate is 1/4. (II) Your pulse rate slows down 3 beats per minute if your weight decreases by 12 kilograms.
A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and the number of sit-ups a person can do (y). The results were: Y a+bx b = -0.79 = 23.04 a r² = 0.4493 r = -0.6703 a. If a person watches 10 hours of television a day, predict how many sit-ups he can do. b. If a person can do 7 sit ups, predict how many hours of television a day they watch. hours
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?
In 2012, the CDC published data on the average weight of American female children by year. Using ages 1−7 of this data, researchers made a linear regression with age in years as the x variable and weight in pounds as the y variable. The equation of the line of best fit is yˆ=5.78x+17.56. According to the line of best fit, what would you predict the weight would be for a 14-year-old female? Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make this prediction?
