(a)
Suppose that the Wright meter is considered to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. If the two types of meters produce different readings but there is a strong relationship between the readings, it would be possible to use a reading from the mini-Wright meter to predict the reading that the larger Wright meter would have given. Use the given data to find an equation to predict y = Wright meter reading using a reading from the mini-Wright meter. (Round your values to four decimal places.)
ŷ = + (__) x
(b)
What would you predict for the Wright meter reading of a subject whose mini-Wright meter reading was 576? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c)
What would you predict for the Wright meter reading of a subject whose mini-Wright meter reading was 368? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
