Before buying a new car , a consumer wants to learn how the weight of a car affects highway gas mileage. Statistical software was used to conduct a simple linear regression about the relationship between the weight (in lbs) of a car and its highway mpg. The following equation for the regression line was given:
mpg=49.5-0.0081weight
If your car weighs 3200 lbs , what does the model predict in the highway mpg? Round to 1 decimal places.
Using the attached information, answer the following:
1. Fill in the blank: For these data, mileages that are greater than the mean of the mileages tend to be paired with used selling prices that are _____ the mean of the used selling prices.
Choose one
greater than
less than
2. According to the regression equation, for an increase of one thousand miles in Cadet mileage, there is a corresponding decrease of how many thousand dollars in the used selling price?
3. What was the observed used selling price (in thousands of dollars) when the mileage was 37.7 thousand miles?
4. From the regression equation, what is the predicted used selling price (in thousands of dollars) when the mileage is 37.7 thousand miles? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
