The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter x and shear strength y (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel. A scatterplot shows a pronounced linear pattern. The least-squares line is = -964.98 + 8.60x. Because 1 lb = 0.4536 kg, strength observations can be re-expressed in kilograms through multiplication by this conversion factor: new y = 0.4536(old y). What is the equation of the least-squares line when y is expressed in kilograms? (Give the answer to two decimal places.) =

An article on the cost of housing in California that appeared in the San Luis Obispo Tribunet included the following statement: "In Northern California,
people from the San Francisco Bay area pushed into the Central Valley, benefiting from home prices that dropped on average $4,000 for every mile
traveled east of the Bay area." If this statement is correct, what is the slope of the least-squares line, ŷ = a + bx, where y = house price (in dollars)
and x = distance east of the Bay (in miles)?
Explain.
● This value is the change in the average home price, in dollars, for each increase of 1 mile in the distance east of the bay.
O This value is the change in the average home price, in dollars, for each decrease of 1 mile in the distance east of the bay.
O This value is the change in the distance east of the bay, in miles, for each decrease of $1 in average home price.
O This value is the change in the distance east of the bay, in miles, for each increase of $1 in average home price.
Isabelle is a crime scene investigator. She found a footprint at the site of a recent
murder and believes the footprint belongs to the culprit. To help identify possible
suspects, she is investigating the relationship between a person's height and the
length of his or her footprint.
She consulted her agency's database and found cases in which detectives had
recorded the length of people's footprints, x, and their heights (in centimetres), y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y = 2.488x + 114.001
omplete the following sentence:
The least squares regression line predicts that someone whose footprint is one centimetre
longer should be
centimetres taller.
