Read the following description of a data set.
The owner of a bicycle store wonders if the employees who take the longest
lunch breaks also make the fewest bicycle sales.
One day, she notes the length of each salesperson's lunch break (in minutes), x,
as well as the number of bicycles he or she sold that day, y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
ŷ = -0.297x + 10.889
Complete the following sentence:
If a salesperson spends one additional minute at lunch, the least squares regression line
predicts he or she will sell |
fewer bicycles that day.

Two variables the critic considered were a song’s Tempo (in bpm) and a song’s Danceability. We will use the songs written before the year 2000 from the original SpotifySample data set. The data set that you will use to complete this investigation is called SpotifyB2000 and consists of 483 songs. Write the least-squares regression line equation describing Year and Danceability usingproper notation and values. Interpret the slope of the regression line for Year and Danceability in context. Would the interpretation of the y-intercept for Year and Danceability be meaningful? Ifso, interpret it. If not, state why not in one sentence.
