The follow table gives the approximate economic value associated with various levels of oil recovery in Texas. Find the regression line, and use it to estimate the economic value associated with a recovery level of 70%.
The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year. The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS. The results are shown below.
What proportion of variation in the number of complaints can be explained by hourly wages?
From the results shown above, write the regression equation
If wages were increased by $1.00, what is the expected effect on the number of complaints received per employee?
