(a)
Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to estimate the price for a bike given the weight. (Round your numerical values to the nearest integer).
ŷ =
(b)
Compute
r2.
(Round your answer to three decimal places.)r2
= Did the estimated regression equation provide a good fit?
The estimated regression equation did not provide a good fit, since r2 ≥ 0.55.The estimated regression equation did not provide a good fit, since r2 < 0.55. The estimated regression equation provided a good fit, since r2 ≥ 0.55.The estimated regression equation provided a good fit, since r2 < 0.55.
(c)
Predict the price (in dollars) for a bike that weighs 16 pounds. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
