Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. Explain clearly what this slope says about the change in the mean of y for a change in x.

In a sample of cars reviewed by Motor Trend magazine, the mean horsepower (hp) was 150 hp with a standard deviation of 36 hp. The mean weight (lbs) was 2500 lbs with a standard deviation of 720 lbs. Assume the relationship between weight and horsepower is linear and has a correlation of r = +0.55. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable)? using the value of the slope you found, now compute the intercept of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable). 850 550 1150 250

A pumpkin farmer wants to create a linear regression model to predict the circumference of a pumpkin (Y-variable) from its weight (X-variable). He samples 40 pumpkins from his pumpkin patch and the mean weight is 14 lbs with a standard deviation of 1 lb. The mean circumference is 50 inches with a standard deviation of 10 inches. The correlation between pumpkin weight and circumference is r = 0.50. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting circumference from weight? 7 1 5 3
