Use the given data to find a regression line that best fits the price-demand data for price p in dollars as a function of the demand x widgets.  Here, price is the dependent variable, and demand is the independent variable.  Find the regression function for price, and write it as p ( x ) = m x + b. Does it look like the regression line models the data well?  Why or why not? Use the regression function you found to estimate p ( x ) for specific values of x.  Give the real-world interpretation of the result of such computations in complete sentences.  Be sure to include units.

  • Use the given data to find a regression line that best fits the price-demand data for price p in dollars as a function of the demand x widgets.  Here, price is the dependent variable, and demand is the independent variable.  Find the regression function for price, and write it as p ( x ) = m x + b.
  • Does it look like the regression line models the data well?  Why or why not?
  • Use the regression function you found to estimate p ( x ) for specific values of x.  Give the real-world interpretation of the result of such computations in complete sentences.  Be sure to include units.
  • Find the value of x would make p ( x ) = 0.  Give the real-world interpretation of the result of the computation in complete sentences.

  1. Enter the value for m, rounded to the nearest thousandth.
  2. Enter the values for b, rounded to the nearest whole number.
  3. Use the regression function p ( x ) = m x + b with m rounded to the nearest thousandth and b rounded to the nearest whole number.

    Compute p ( 45 ), rounded to the nearest whole number.

  4. Use the regression function p ( x ) = m x + b with m rounded to the nearest thousandth and b rounded to the nearest whole number.  

    Find a value of x would make p ( x ) = 0.  Round to the nearest whole number.
