Chapter 13, Problem 13.2LB

Using the weights (lb) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mi/gal) of the 48 cars listed in the accompanying data set, one gets this regression equation: y = 58.9-0.00749x, where x represents weight. Complete parts (a) through (d). Click the icon to view the car data. The site to your captio V.UVITU. D. The slope is -0.00749 and the y-intercept is 58.9. c. What is the predictor variable? ... OA. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by x. OB. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by y. C. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by x. OD. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by y. d. Assuming that there is a significant linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption, what is the best predicted value for a car that weighs 2994 lb? The best predicted value of highway fuel consumption of a car that weighs 2994 lb is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) mi/gal.

What is the value of the y-intercept? what is the meaning of the meaning of the y-intercept?

X₁ is the The volume (in cubic feet) of a black cherry tree can be modeled by the equation y = -51.2 +0.4x₁ + 4.8x2, where tree's height (in feet) and x₂ is the tree's diameter (in inches). Use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables. (a) x₁ = 73, x₂ = 8.8 (b) x₁ = 67, x₂ = 11.5 (c) x₁ = 85, x₂ = 17.6 (d) x₁ = 92, x₂ = 20.8 cubic feet. (a) The predicted volume is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (b) The predicted volume is cubic feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (c) The predicted volume is cubic feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (d) The predicted volume is cubic feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Next
