Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable, Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493.
24. Manatees Use the listed boat/manatee data. In a year not included in the data below, there were 970,000 registered pleasure boats in Florida. Find the best predicted number of manatee fatalities resulting from encounters with boats. Is the result reasonably close to 79, which was the actual number of manatee fatalities?

In Exercises 13–20, determine whether the data are from a discrete or continuous data set.
Corvettes A shift manager records the numbers of Corvettes manufactured during each day of production.
Making Predictions. In Exercises 5–8, let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. Use the given data to find the regression equation and the best predicted value of the response variable. Be sure to follow the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493. Use a 0.05 significance level.
Bear Measurements Head widths (in.) and weights (lb) were measured for 20 randomly selected bears (from Data Set 9 “Bear Measurements” in Appendix B). The 20 pairs of measurements yield x = 6.9 in., ȳ = 214.3 lb, r = 0.879, P -value = 0.000, and ŷ = −212 + 61.9x. Find the best predicted value of ŷ (weight) given a bear with a head width of 6.5 in.
City Fuel Consumption: Finding the Best Multiple Regression Equation. In Exercises 9–12, refer to the accompanying table, which was obtained using the data from 21 cars listed in Data Set 20 “Car Measurements” in Appendix B. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi /gal).
A Honda Civic weighs 2740 lb, it has an engine displacement of 1.8 L, and its highway fuel consumption is 36 mi/gal. What is the best predicted value of the city fuel consumption? Is that predicted value likely to be a good estimate? Is that predicted value likely to be very accurate?

- The SAT and ACT exams are often used to predict a student's first-term college grade point average (GPA). Different formulas are used for different colleges and majors. Suppose that a student is applying to a university with an intended major in civil engineering. Also suppose that for this college and this major, the following model is used to predict first term GPA. GPA = a + b(ACT) a = 0.6 b = 0.2 (a) In this context, what would be the appropriate interpretation of the value of a? The value of a is the predicted ACT score of a student who has a 0 GPA. There is not enough information to know how to interpret the value of a. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an increase of 1 in ACT score. The value of a represents the change in predicted GPA associated with an decrease of 1 in ACT score. The value of a is the predicted GPA of a student who scored a 0 on the ACT. (b) In this context, what would be the…arrow_forwardThe November 24, 2001, issue of The Economist published economic data for 15 industrialized nations. Included were the percent changes in gross domestic product (GDP), industrial production (IP), consumer prices (CP), and producer prices (PP) from Fall 2000 to Fall 2001, and the unemployment rate in Fall 2001 (UNEMP). An economist wants to construct a model to predict GDP from the other variables. A fit of the model GDP = , + P,IP + 0,UNEMP + f,CP + P,PP + € yields the following output: The regression equation is GDP = 1.19 + 0.17 IP + 0.18 UNEMP + 0.18 CP – 0.18 PP Predictor Coef SE Coef тР Constant 1.18957 0.42180 2.82 0.018 IP 0.17326 0.041962 4.13 0.002 UNEMP 0.17918 0.045895 3.90 0.003 CP 0.17591 0.11365 1.55 0.153 PP -0.18393 0.068808 -2.67 0.023 Predict the percent change in GDP for a country with IP = 0.5, UNEMP = 5.7, CP = 3.0, and PP = 4.1. a. b.
