(d)
To find: The annual average compensation of construction workers in the year 2008 by using the regression equation.
(d)

Answer to Problem 45E
The annual average compensation of construction workers in the year 2008 is $62,659.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The table given below the mean annual compensation of construction workers for different years:
Construction Workers’ Average Annual Compensation | |
Year | Annual Total Compensation (dollars) |
1999 | 42,598 |
2000 | 44,764 |
2001 | 47,822 |
2002 | 48,966 |
Calculation:
From part (a), the linear regression equation for the given data is
To find the annual average compensation, substitute 2008 for
Therefore, the annual average compensation of construction workers in the year 2008 is $62,659.
