You run a linear regression to predict BMI (body mass index) from average minutes of physical activity per day. You calculate the slope of the regression to be -.054. Interpret the slope in terms of the independent and dependent variables.
Using the weights (lb) and highway fuel consumption amounts (mi/gal) of the 48 cars listed in the accompanying data set, one gets this regression equation:
y = 58.9-0.00749x, where x represents weight. Complete parts (a) through (d).

D. The slope is -0.00749 and the y-intercept is 58.9.
c. What is the predictor variable?
...
OA. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by x.
OB. The predictor variable is highway fuel consumption, which is represented by y.
C. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by x.
OD. The predictor variable is weight, which is represented by y.
d. Assuming that there is a significant linear correlation between weight and highway fuel consumption, what is the best predicted value for a car that weighs 2994
lb?
The best predicted value of highway fuel consumption of a car that weighs 2994 lb is
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
mi/gal.
A regression study was conducted to determine a relationship between a car's age
and its accumulated maintenance costs.
The coefficient of determination was found to be 0.25, and the slope and intercept
were found be 700 and 0.1 respectively.
State the regression equation.
Y= 700+0.1(0.25)
