Let x represent the year, with x=8 corresponding to 2008. (b) Use the linear regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. How does this model compare with the model obtained in part a? (c) Use the linear model to create a table of estimated values for y. Compare the estimated values with the actual data.arrow_forwardHOW DO YOU SEE IT? Discuss how well a linear model approximates the data shown in each scatter plot.arrow_forwardesc An experimental drug is being tested on mice. Different mice were given different dosages of the drug and, among other things, the heartrates of the mice were measured an hour after the drug was ingested. For a random sample of 75 mice, the least-squares regression equation relating the dosage and heartrate was y = 72.53-1.61x. (In this equation, x represents the dosage, in milligrams, and y represents the heartrate, in beats per minute.) The standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.65. [ami] D 1 Based on this information, test whether there is a significant linear relationship between the drug dosage and the heartrate of a mouse and hour after drug ingestion by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B₁. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.05 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the…arrow_forward

They found the least squares line to be: y = 3 + 5x where x is the temperature (in Celsius) and y is mating call frequency. The slope of the regression line can be interpreted in the following way: OWhen temperature decreases by one degree, the mating call frequency increases by 5. When temperature increases by one degree, the mating call frequency increases by 3. O When temperature increases by one degree, the mating call frequency increases by 5. O When temperature decreases by one degree, the mating call frequency increases by 3. OWhen temperature increases by one degree, the mating call frequency decreases by 5. Submit Questionarrow_forward
