Question
A least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight=−5.82+0.1601 length. A newborn was 48 cm long and weighed 3 kg. According to the regression model, what was his residual? What does that say about him?

- Is there a relation between the age difference between husband/wives and the percent of a country that is literate? Researchers found the least-squares regression between age difference (husband age minus wife age), y, and literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate), x, is y= -0.0489x + 6.7. The model applied for 20 sxs 100. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Interprel the slope. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. For every unit increase in V the v talls by units, on average. (Type an integer or decimal. Do not round.) (b) Does it make sense to interpret the y-intercept? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes-t makes sense to interpret the y-intercept because an x-value of 0 is within the realm of possibilities. O B. No-t does not make sense to interpret the y-intercept because an x-value of 0 is impossible. OC.

A random sample of records of electricity usage of homes in the month of July gives the amount of electricity used and size (in square feet) of 135 homes. A regression was done to predict the amount of eleçtricity used (in kilowatt-hours) (y) from size (x). The residuals plot indicated that a inear model is appropriate. The model is y = 0.2x+ 1271.

Twenty toddlers were observed over several months at a nursery school. "Time" is the average number of minutes a child spent at the table when lunch was served. "Calories" is the average number of calories the child consumed during lunch, calculated from careful observation of what the child ate each day. A regression was run and the results were: = 114 + 2.4*x R² = 0.68 r = 0.822 Predict the number of calories a toddler consumes who remains at the table for 14.5 minutes (round your answer to two decimal places)arrow_forward
