A. 2 The table below shows the number of new stores in a coffee shop chain that opened during the years 1986 through 1994. Number of New Stores Year 1986 14 1937 27 1988 48 1989 80 1990 110 1991 153 1902 261 403 1994 681 Using x= 1 to represent the year 1986 and y to represent the number of new stores, write the exponential regression equation for these data. Round all values to the nearest thousandth

A study was done to look at the relationship between number of vacation days employees take each year and the number of sick days they take each year. The results of the survey are shown below.   Vacation Days 5 15 13 3 9 0 3 7 7 14 4 Sick Days 5 5 1 5 4 9 9 6 5 3 9 Use the model to predict the number of sick days taken for an employee who took 3 vacation days this year.Sick Days = ? (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)   Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:   As x goes up, y goes down. The slope has no practical meaning since a negative number cannot occur with vacation days and sick days. For every additional vacation day taken, employees tend to take on average 0.40 fewer sick days. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question: The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study. If an employee takes no vacation days, then that employee will take 8 sick days. The average number of sick days is…

Use the scatterplot of Vehicle Registrations below to answer the questions Vehicle Registrations in the United States, 1925- 2011 Vehicles millions 300 y = 3.0161x - 5819.5 R? = 0.9695 250 200 150 100 50 1920 -50 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020 Year Write a sentence explaining the value of the slope for this regression line. For every increase in year, the number of vehicle registrations in the US increases by 3.0161 million. For every increase in year, the number of vehicle registrations in the US increases by 5819.5. For every increase in vehicle registrations in the US, the number of years increases by 5819.5. For every increase in vehicle registrations in the US, the number of years increases by 3.0161 million. Registrations (in millions)

The data show the chest size and weight of several bears. Find the regression equation, letting chest size be the independent (x) variable. Then find the best predicted weight of a bear with a chest size of 40 inches. Is the result close to the actual weight of 352 pounds? Use a significance level of 0.05. Chest size (inches) *Weight (pounds) 44 54 328 528 41 55 39 51 418 580 296 503 Click the icon to view the critical values of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. - What is the regression equation? x (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
