An airline developed a regression model to predict revenue from flights that connect "feeder" cities to its hub airport. The response in the model is the revenue generated by flights operating to the feeder cities (in thousands of dollars per month), and the two explanatory variables are the air distance between the hub and feeder city (Distance, in miles) and the population of the feeder city (in thousands). The least squares regression equation based on data for 37 feeder locations last month is Estimated revenue = 81 +0.3Distance + 1.4Population with R² = 0.75 and s₂ = 31.2. Complete parts a through d. …... (a) The airline plans to expand its operations to add an additional feeder city. The first possible city has population 150,000 and is 275 miles from the hub. A second possible city has population 180,000 and is 250 miles from the hub. Which would you recommend the airline wants to increase total revenue? O The first city O The second city

The maintenance manager at a trucking company wants to build a regression model to forecast the time (in years) until the first engine overhaul based on four predictor variables: (1) annual miles driven (in 1,000s of miles), (2) average load weight (in tons), (3) average driving speed (in mph), and (4) oil change interval (in 1,000s of miles). Based on driver logs and onboard computers, data have been obtained for a sample of 25 trucks. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Time Miles Load Speed Oil 7.7 42.9 22.0 44.0 16.0 0.8 98.3 20.0 47.0 34.0 6.3 61.1 22.0 62.0 15.0 E Click here for the Excel Data File b. Estimate the regression model. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Time = Miles Load Speed oil + + d. What is the predicted time before the first engine overhaul for a particular truck driven 60,000 miles per year with an average load of 25 tons, an average driving speed of 53 mph, and 21,000 miles…

Might we be able to predict life expectancies from birthrates? Below are bivariate data giving birthrate and life expectancy information for each of twelve countries. For each of the countries, both x, the number of births per one thousand people in the population, and y, the female life expectancy (in years), are given. Also shown are the scatter plot for the data and the least-squares regression line. The equation for this line is y = 82.17 -0.47x. Birthrate, x (number of births per 1000 people) 14.3 27.4 51.1 46.8 24.9 29.9 18.2 41.6 49.4 14.1 33.9 49.3 Send data to calculator Female life expectancy, y (in years) 75.6 70.5 58.2 59.0 73.3 62.7 73.6 65.2 62.4 74.3 67.0 53.9 Send data to Excel Female life expectancy (In years) Based on the sample data and the regression line, answer the following. 85+ 80+ 75+ 70+ 65 60 55+ 50 (a) From the regression equation, what is the predicted female life expectancy (in years) when the birthrate is 29.9 births per 1000 people? Round your answer to…

For major league baseball teams, do higher player payrolls mean more gate money? Here are data for each of the American League teams in the year 2002. The variable x denotes the player payroll (in millions of dollars) for the year 2002, and the variable y denotes the mean attendance (in thousands of fans) for the 81 home games that year. The data are plotted in the scatter plot below, as is the least-squares regression line. The equation for this line is y = 11.43 + 0.23x. Player payroll, x (in Mean attendance, y (in $1,000,000s) thousands) Anaheim 62.8 28.52 Baltimore 56.5 33.09 40- Boston 110.2 32.72 35 Chicago White Sox 54.5 20.74 30- Cleveland 74.9 32.35 25- Detroit 54.4 18.52 Kansas City 49.4 16.30 15- Minnesota 41.3 23.70 10+ New York Yankees 133.4 42.84 Oakland 41.9 26.79 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Seattle 86.1 43.70 Player payroll, Тarmpa Bay 34.7 13.21 X (in $1,000,000s) Техas 106.9 29.01 Toronto 66.8 20.25 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Based on the sample data and…
