In a recent survey, ice cream truck drivers in Cincinnati, Ohio, reported they make about $280 in income on a typical summer day. The income was generally higher on days with longer work hours, particularly hot day, and on holidays. The IceCream data file includes five weeks of the driver's daily income (Income), number of hours on the road (Hours), whether it was a particularly hot day (Hot = 1 if the high temperature was above 85-degrees F, 0 otherwise), and whether it was a Holiday (Holiday = 1, 0 otherwise).
1. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
2. Predict the income of a driver working 8 hours on a hot day if it was not a holiday. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
what % of the variation is ( height, or head circumference) explained by the least-squares regression model.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
