A grocery store is interested in how customers' income affects the amount of money
they spend each week. A regression analysis is performed to test this analysis. The
results of the analysis are that the intercept is $17.80 and the slope is 0.0012. The
residual of one customer's weekly spending was $54.12. Is this household an
example of over or under prediction
and expenditures inverse or direct
and is the relationship between income
under-prediction, inverse
under-prediction, direct
over-prediction, direct

A regression analysis of 117 homes for sale produced the following model, where price is in thousands of dollars and size is in square feet.
Price = 47.82 +0.067(Size)
a) Explain what the slope of the line says about housing prices and house size.
b) What price would you predict for a 3500-square-foot house in this market?
c) A real estate agent shows a potential buyer a 1100-square-foot house, saying that the asking price is $6500 less than what one would expect to pay for a house of this size. What is the
asking price, and what is the $6500 called?
a) Explain what the slope of the line says about housing prices and house size.
C
O A. For every additional square foot of area of a house, the price is predicted to increase by $67.
OB. For every $1000 increase in price of a house, the size is predicted to increase by 0.067 square feet.

If the independent variable in a line of best fit y = - 0.008x + 14 is credit score, and the dependent variable is the interest rate on a used-car loan, then the slope is interpreted as follows: “If credit score increases by 1 point,the interest rate will _______ (increase/decrease) by _________percent, on average.”

A sample of 15 recent fires in a large suburb of a major city was selected. For each fire, the following variables were recorded: x= the distance between the fire and the nearest fire station (in miles) y= cost of damage (in dollars) The distances between the fire and the nearest fire station ranged between 0.7 miles and 6.1 miles. The correlation between cost and distance is 0.961. Test if the correlation is significant at a=.10. O No, the correlation is not significant because 0.961 does not exceed the critical value.

She sampled 20frequent flyers of a certain airline. She collected the number of miles flown in the previous year and the total amount of money the flyer spent.

- Data was collected for a regression analysis where sleep quality (as a percentage) depends on the amount of caffeine consumed in a day (measured in mg). bo was found to be 92.7, b₁ was found to be -0.76, and R² was found to be 0.86. Interpret the slope of the line. O On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed increases a person's sleep quality by 92.7%. O On average, when x = = 0, a person has a sleep quality of -0.76%. O On average, each one mg increase in caffeine consumed decreases a person's sleep quality by 0.76%. On average, when x = 0, a person has a sleep quality of 92.7%. O We should not interpret the slope in this problem.
