Textbook Question
Chapter 4.10, Problem 1R
Type a short answer to each question.
We’ve studied linear, quadratic, and exponential lines of best fit in this course. If you’re looking at a set of data, how can you decide which of those three types of model would be most appropriate for the data?

You are part of a government task force evaluating whether new models of cars will meet fuel efficiency standards set out by the newly signed climate bill.
You have run an ANCOVA model that predicts fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) as a function of vehicle weight (measured in thousands of lbs, where a value of 2.5 would correspond to 2,500 lbs), horsepower, and number of cylinders in the car (cylinders is a factor in this model with 3 levels: 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, and 8 cylinders).
Your analysis tells you the following;
The mean miles per gallon of all cars analyzed is 20.09
The mean weight of all cars analyzed is 3.217 thousand lbs
The mean horsepower of all cars analyzed is 146.7
The regression coefficient for weight is -3.18 miles per gallon per additional thousand lbs
The regression coefficient for horsepower is -0.023 miles per gallon per additional unit of horsepower
Cars with 4 cylinders get 2.13 more miles per gallon, on average, than the average car

- Please help me better understand this problem. Researchers want to determine if heavier cars use more gasoline? To answer this question, a researcher randomly selected 15 cars. He collected their weight (in hundreds of pounds) and the mileage (MPG) for each car. From a scatterplot made with the data, a linear model seemed appropriate and the following output was obtained in photo below. Question: Determine the proportion of the variation in mileage is accounted for by the linear relationship with the weight of the car and also determine the estimate of the regression standard deviation.arrow_forwardAnswer two questions in the picture from these four options.arrow_forwardElena is interested in whether music affects plant growth.
