Question

Transcribed Image Text:We use the form ŷ = a + bx for the least-squares line. In some computer printouts, the least-squares equation is not given directly. Instead, the value of the constant a is given, and the coefficient b of the explanatory or predictor
variable is displayed. Sometimes a is referred to as the constant, and sometimes as the intercept. Data from a report showed the following relationship between elevation (in thousands of feet) and average number of frost-free days per
year in a state.

Notice that "Elevation" is listed under "Predictor." This means that elevation is the explanatory variable x. Its coefficient is the slope b. "Constant" refers to a in the equation ŷ = a + bx.
(a) Use the printout to write the least-squares equation.

(b) For each 1000-foot increase in elevation, how many fewer frost-free days are predicted? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) The printout gives the value of the coefficient of determination 2. What is the value of r? Be sure to give the correct sign for r based on the sign of b. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d) What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line?
What percentage is unexplained?

Which of the following is the best interpretation of the coefficient of determination r2? About 37% of the variation in arm span is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the foot length. About 65% of the variation in foot length is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the arm span.
