Predicting college GPA For all students at Walden University, the prediction equation for y = college GPA (
- a. Find the predicted college GPA for students having (i) high school GPA = 4.0 and college board score = 800 and (ii) x1 = 2.0 and x2 = 200.
- b. For those students with x2 = 500, show that ŷ = 1.20 + 0.50x1.
- c. For those students with x2 = 600, show that ŷ = 1.40 + 0.50x1. Thus, compared to part b, the slope for x1 is still 0.50, and increasing x2 by 100 (from 500 to 600) shifts the intercept upward by 100 × (slope for x2) = 100(0.002) = 0.20 units.

Wing Foot is a shoe franchise commonly found in shopping centers across the United States. Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year. Compute P(B|Ac). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
