Answer to Problem 45E
The slope of the regression line for the given data is 2216.2 and it represents the increasing rate in earning rate of workers in dollars per year.
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
It is known that slope-form of a line is
Therefore, the slope of the regression line for the given data is 2216.2 and it represents the increasing rate in earning rate of workers in dollars per year.

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.

Need Help? Read It Master Itarrow_forwardVelocity of a Ball Thrown into the Air The position function of an object moving along a straight line is given by s = f(t). The average velocity of the object over the time interval [a, b] is the average rate of change of f over [a, b]; its (instantaneous) velocity at t = a is the rate of change of f at a. A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec, so that its height (in feet) after t sec is given by s = f(t) = 128t - 16t².
