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.

An engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects the gas mileage, y.
Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares regression line to predict the miles per gallon of a hybrid gas and electric car? Why and why not?
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.

One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x %3D where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and ŷ is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct an 80% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.
