An online clothing company is keeping track of their customers purchases. Company also offers a credit card where customers get additional offers if they use that card when they make purchases from their online store. For those customers who has their credit card, the company has additional information such as age, yearly income, etc. The company management is interested in looking at the relationship between the income (in 1000s of dollars) and the total yearly purchases from their store for these credit card holders . They have gathered this information from a random sample of 42 credit card holders. Below provided is a partial MINITAB output for predicting the yearly purchases from the income.
Identify the response and the predictor variable in this study.
Write the equation of the least squares regression line for predicting the total yearly purchase from the income of the customer.
What percentage of variation in total yearly purchase is explained by income of the customer?…

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardHOW DO YOU SEE IT?

- You hypothesize that there may be a non-linear relationship between your predictors, where there may be more mosquitoes in sites with water and with caribou hosts. How do you create your model?

You have one observation per county, corresponding to the total number of species observed there during the Christmas Bird Count (a national bird count organized mainly by volunteers every year on Christmas). Your predictor variables are: population, percent forested habitat, number of highways that cross the county. What kind of model do you use to analyze these data? For the above model, you think there may be a non-linear effect of forest habitat based on the number of highways that cross the county, as this may cause the habitat to be more fragmented. You do not think there are any other non-linear effects. Assume "county" is a variable for which county the data comes from Assume "highways" is the number of highways in the county Assume "forest" is the percent of forested habitat Assume "population" is the population of the county Group of answer choices # species ~ county + highways *…arrow_forwardFill in the blank.
