Let x be the size of a house (in square feet) and y be the amount of natural gas used (therms) during a specified period. Suppose that for a particular community, x and y are related according to the simple linear regression model with the
following values.
B = slope of population regression line = 0.018
a = y intercept of population regression line = -4
Houses in this community range in size from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet.
(a) What is the mean value of gas usage (in therms) for houses with 2,100 sq. ft. of space?
therms
(b) What is the average change in usage (in therms) associated with a 1 sq. ft. increase in size?
therms
(c) What is the average change in usage (in therms) associated with a 100 sq. ft. increase in size?
therms
(d) Should the model be used to predict mean usage for a 500 sq. ft. house? Why or why not?
O Yes. The size of this house lies inside the range of the sample that the model is based on.
O Yes. The model can be used to predict mean usage for any sized house…

Question: Graph the population regression line by first finding the point on the line corresponding to x = 1,000 and then the point corresponding to x = 2,000, and drawing a line through these points.
The flow rate in a device used for air quality measurement depends on the pressure drop x (inches of water) across the device's filter. Suppose that for x values between 5 and 20, these two variables are related according to the simple linear regression model with true regression line y = -0.11 + 0.097x.
(a.1) What is the true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 10 in.?(a.2) A drop of 15 in.?(b) What is the true average change in flow rate associated with a 1 inch increase in pressure drop?(c) What is the average change in flow rate when pressure drop decreases by 5 in.?
