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?

For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of
months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons.

West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff.
Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.
