The number of newly reported crime cases in a county in New York State is shown in the accompanying table, where x represents the number of years since 1997, and y represents number of new cases. Write the linear regression equation that represents this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest hundredth. Using this equation, find the projected number of new cases for 2008, rounded to the nearest whole number.

An admissions counselor is looking to determine an equation that relates the graduate grade point averages of students who are newly admitted to an academic program with their undergraduate GPA, their GRE scores, and the number of years they have been out of college. What is the correct format for a multiple regression equation? Select the correct answer below: yˆ=b0+b1x1+b2x2+b3x3 yˆ=b1x1+b2x2+b3x3 yˆ=b0+b1x1+b2x2+b3x3+b4x4 yˆ=b0+b1x1+b2x2
The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year. The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS. The results are shown below. The current minimum wage is $5.15. If an employee earns the minimum wage, how many complaints can that employee expect to receive? Is the regression coefficient statistically significant? How can you tell?

Mary used a sample of 68 large U.S. cities to estimate the relationship between Crime (annual property crimes per 100,000 persons) and Income (median annual income per capita, in dollars). Her estimated regression equation was Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income. If Income decreases by 500, we would expect that Crime will Group of answer choices remain unchanged. decrease by 25. increase by 500. decrease by 50.
Use the data below for the PHONES questions that follow. Data compiled from the CIA World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/. The number of cell phones in use in a country can be approximated from the number of main lines in use in that country by using the regression equation yhat=25+3x which had an R² of about 90%. (The numbers here are millions. For example, "1.2" would represent 1.2 million or 1,200,000.) PHONES 1 At the time the data was collected, the USA had about 314 million cell phones in use and about 150 million main lines in use. What was the residual for the USA? Enter a number of millions. For example, if your answer is 2.85 million enter "2.85". Do not enter anything else such as symbols or words.

Write out the full linear model including all dummy variables below. Don’t worry about estimating regression coefficients just yet. Feel free to abbreviate variable names so long as they are clearly distinguishable.
A financial website reported the beta value for a certain company was 0.86. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock, and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market, such as the return of a market index. The slope of this regression equation is referred to as the stock's beta. Many financial analysts prefer to measure the risk of a stock by computing the stock's beta value. Suppose the following data show the monthly percentage returns for the market index and the company for a recent year. Month Market Index% Return Company% Return August -3 4 September 8 7 October 0 1 November -2 1 December -5 0 January 0 0 February 7 7 March 0 -2 April 2 0 May -5 -1 a. Develop the least squares estimated regression equation. (Let x = Market Index % Return (as a %), and let y = Company % Return (as a %). Round your numerical values to four decimal places.)
For 39 nations, a correlation of 0.887 was found between y = Internet use (%) and x = gross domestic product (GDP, in thousands of dollars per capita). The regression equation is y = -3.68 + 1.73x. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. Based on the correlation value, the slope had to be positive. Why? A. The slope and correlation are positive because gross domestic product could not be negative. B. The correlation and the slope are positive because the y-intercept is negative. C. That is a very unusual fact, because the slope and correlation usually have different signs. D. Although slope and correlation usually have different values, they always have the same sign.
