A local retail store compared their monthly sales of umbrellas with the amount of rainfall that occured
during that month. They computed the following statistics:
Rainfall (in) # of umbrellas
mean = 4.64
mean = 34.2
SD = 1.17
SD = 13.2
r = 0.8
1. Find the equation for the regression line that predicts the monthly sales of umbrellas from monthly
rainfall.
A simple regression model developed for ten pairs of data resulted in a sum of squares of error, SSE = 125. The standard error of the
estimate is
12.5
3.5
25
15.6
O 3.95
The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter and shear strength (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel.
Below are the data collected and the regression equation.

Strength = -941.6992 + 8.5988*Diameter
a)The predicted y-hat value for a diameter of 201 is 864. Interpret this predicted value.
b)what is the predicted strength of a weld with a diameter of 51?
