In baseball, two statistics, the ERA (Earned Run Average) and the WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched), are used to measure the quality of pitchers. For both measures, smaller values indicate higher quality. The following computer output gives the results from predicting ERA by using WHIP in a least-squares regression for the 2017 baseball season. Variable DF Estimate SE T Intercept 1 -5.0 0.26 - 19.3 WHIP 1 6.8 0.14 47.4 Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the value 6.8 shown in the output? ERA is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of WHIP. WHIP is predicted to increase by 6.8 units for each 1 unit increase of ERA. For a pitcher with 0 units of WHIP, the ERA is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. For a pitcher with 0 units of ERA, the WHIP is predicted to be approximately 6.8 units. Approximately 6.8% of the variability in ERA is due to its linear relationship with WHIP.
In a study of feeding behavior, zoologists recorded the number of grunts of a warthog feeding by a lake in a 15 minute time period following the addition of food. The data showing the weekly number of grunts and the age of the warthog (in days) are listed below. Compute the sum of the squared residuals of the least squared line for the given data.

A movie studio wishes to determine the relationship between the revenue from rental of comedies on streaming services and the revenue generated from the theatrical release of such movies. The studio has the following bivariate data from a sample of fifteen comedies released over the past five years. These data give the revenue x from theatrical release (in millions of dollars) and the revenue y from streaming service rentals (in millions of dollars) for each of the fifteen movies. Also shown are the scatter plot and the least-squares regression line for the data. The equation for this line is y = 3.58 +0.15x.

Biologist Theodore Garland, Jr. studied the relationship between running speeds and morphology of 49 species of cursorial mammals (mammals adapted to or specialized for running). One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x %3D where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and ŷ is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct an 80% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Give your answers precise to at least two decimal places. Lower limit: Upper limit:

The accompanying table shows a portion of data that refers to the property taxes owed by a homeowner (in $) and the size of the home (in square feet) in an affluent suburb 30 miles outside New York City. Click here for the Excel Data File Taxes Size 21,987 2,403 17,353 2,451 29,238 2,866 a. Estimate the sample regression equation that enables us to predict property Taxes on the basis of the size of the home. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Taxes = + Size. b. Interpret the slope coefficient. O As Property Taxes increase by 1 dollar, the size of the house increases by 6.71 ft. O As Size increases by 1 square foot, the property taxes are predicted to increase by $6.71. c. Predict the property Taxes for a 1,400-square-foot home. (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Taxes
