Type the regression equation for “Area” and “Biomass” in context into your document.
Interpret the slope of the regression line (in context of this data set) for “Area” and “Biomass”.
is it meaningful to interpret the y-intercept for “Area” and “Biomass”? Why or why not?
The data show the number of viewers for television stars with certain salaries. Find the regression equation, letting salary be the independent (x) variable. Find the best
predicted number of viewers for a television star with a salary of $6 million. Is the result close to the actual number of viewers, 2.9 million? Use a significance level of
0.05
The following data show the brand, price ($), and the overall score for 6 stereo headphones that were tested by Consumer Reports.
The overall score is based on sound quality and effectiveness of ambient noise reduction. Scores range from 0 (lowest) to 100
(highest). The estimated regression equation for these data is y = 19.653 + 0.353 x, where x =
price ($) and y
= overall score.
