A researcher uses a regression equation to predict home heating bills (dollar cost), based on home size (square feet). The correlation between predicted bills and home size is 0.70. What is the correct interpretation of this finding? (A) 70% of the variability in home heating bills can be explained by home size. (B) 49% of the variability in home heating bills can be explained by home size. (C) For each added square foot of home size, heating bills increased by 70 cents. (D) For each added square foot of home size, heating bills increased by 49 cents. (E) None of the above.

You estimate a regression equation that estimates individuals’ yearly income as a function of age (measured in years), years of education, and their score on a standardized intelligence exam (IQ test). The estimated coefficients are:      I = 26.3 + 4.21*Age + 7.21*Education + .23 * IQ Where I is income measured in thousands of dollars.         Based on the regression results, how much more should an individual earn after attending graduate school for two years? Explain your reasoning.

Illustrate the regression equation?

How does linear regression differ from analysis of variance?

Increase in sales (percent) An advertising firm wishes to demonstrate to its clients the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns it has conducted. The following bivariate data on twelve recent campaigns, including the cost of each campaign (in millions of dollars) and the resulting percentage increase in sales following the campaign, were presented by the firm. Based on these data, we would compute the least-squares regression line to be y = 6.16+0.18x, with x representing campaign cost and y representing the resulting percentage increase in sales. (This line is shown below, along with a scatter plot of the data.) Increase in sales, y Campaign cost, x (in millions of dollars) (percent) 3.02 6.91 7.2+ 1.92 6.80 3.83 6.85 6.8- 1.40 6.37 6.6 - 3.12 6.42 3.56 6.82 6.4- 4.06 6.94 6.2 1.64 6.56 6- 2.06 6.50 1.62 6.18 1.5 2.5 3.5 6.66 Campaign cost (in millions of dollars) 2.87 2.25 6.61 Send data to calculator Based on the firm's data and the regression line, complete the following.

Researchers are interested in predicting the height of a child based on the heights of their mother and father. Data were collected, which included height of the child ( height), height of the mother ( mothersheight ), and height of the father (fathersheight ). The initial analysis used the heights of the parents to predict the height of the child (all units are inches). The results of the analysis, a multiple regression, are presented below. . regress height mothersheight fathersheight Source Model Residual Total height mothersheight fathersheight _cons SS 208.008457 314.295372 522.303829 df 2 104.004228 8.49446952 37 MS 39 13.3924059 Coef.

A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their average glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c). Explain, using concepts from lecture why this occurs and what it means in context.

please only answer the last part "Suppose that real income per capita in New Jersey increases by​ 1% in the next year. Use the results in column​ (4) to predict the change in the number of traffic fatalities in the next year. "

Why the regression line is a straight line rather than a curved line?

For a two-variable linear regression, if the sample correlation between the depen- dent and independent variables is –0.7, then the independent variable explains 49% of the variation in the dependent variable. Is this statement true? Explain your answer.
