Chapter 10.2, Problem 1BSC
Notation Different hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard (“the strip”) in Las Vegas are randomly selected, and their ratings and prices were obtained from Travelocity. Using technology, with x representing the ratings and y representing price, we find that the regression equation has a slope of 130 and a y-intercept of −368.
a. What is the equation of the regression line?
b. What does the symbol ŷ represent?

Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars?
