Fuel cost is (almost) inversely proportional to gas mileage; higher gas mileage means lower fuel cost and vice-versa. If you keep track of the number of miles driven on each tank of gas as well as how much gas is purchased, it is easy to calculate gas mileage; many cell phone apps exist to track this. The data in the following table is the gas mileage for Mr. Hebert's 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. 12.85 14.98 15.36 17.09 18.86 13.28 15.11 15.62 17.50 19.07 13.48 15.12 15.65 17.66 20.91 14.65 15.13 16.41 18.17 21.17 14.71 15.14 16.80 18.27 22.11 d.

- The following data was collected to explore how the number of square feet in a house, the number of bedrooms, and the age of the house affect the selling price of the house. The dependent variable is the selling price of the house, the first independent variable (x1) is the square footage, the second independent variable (x2) is the number of bedrooms, and the third independent variable (x3) is the age of the house.

For those in one income group (making $25,000 to $55,000) it was found that their "happiness" was approximately given by y = 0.065x − 0.613, where x is in thousands of dollars.† Find the reported "happiness" of a person with the following incomes (rounding your answers to one decimal place). (a) $25,000 b) $30,000 c) $45,000arrow_forward
- A real estate company wants to study the relationship between house sales prices and some important predictors of sales prices. Based on data from recently sold homes in the space, the following variables are used in a multiple regression model. y = sales price (in thousands of dollars) x₁ = total floor area (in square feet) x₂ = number of bedrooms x3 distance to nearest high school (in miles) = The estimated model is as follows. =76+0.098x₁ +16x₂ - 8x3 Answer the questions below for the interpretation of the coefficient of X₂ in this model. (a) Holding the other variables fixed, what is the average change in sales price for each additional bedroom in a house? dollars (b) Is this change an increase or a decrease? O increase O decrease Xarrow_forwardMrs. Pearce conducted a survey in her class on the ages of famous people. The table below shows the results of her survey. Which equations could best represent the line-of-best-fit for the given data set? y = 1.19x − 4.3 ⊝ y = 0.81x + 4.56 ⊝ y = −1.19x + 4.3 ⊝ y = −0.81x − 4.56 ⊝arrow_forwardThe cost of fuel is the largest component of cost of ownership for most vehicles.

The topic is on Health, it is focused on Widowed Americans as the dependent variable, and their quality of life (Excellent - Poor)as the independent variable. An overlapping variable would be sex (male - female).arrow_forwardThe 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 48 inches. Is the result close to the actual weight of 538 pounds? Use a significance level of 0.05.arrow_forward
