Transcribed Image Text:2. Graph the regression line on the same axes as your scatterplot.
Discussion Questions
1. Is the relationship a positive or a negative one? Explain how you can tell and what this means in
terms of weight and fuel efficiency.
2. Interpret the slope of the least squares line in terms of weight and fuel efficiency.
3. Predict the fuel efficiency of a vehicle that weighs 4000 pounds. Include units.
4.
Should we predict the fuel efficiency of a vehicle that weighs 10000 pounds using the least
squares line? Explain why or why not?
A
5.
Does the line seem to fit the data? Why or why not?
6. What percentage of the variation in fuel efficiency is explained by its linear relationship with
weight?
