The accompanying table shows results from regressions performed on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal). If only one predictor (x) variable is used to predict the city fuel consumption, which single variable is best? Why? Click the icon to view the table of regression equations.

If the R-squared for a regression model relating the outcome y to an explanatory variable x is 0.9. This implies that y and x are positively correlated.
A social scientist collects information about counties in California and finds that the correlation between average income of the county and a rating of healthcare quality in the county is 0.78. A scatterplot of the two variables is football shaped. A particular county has an average income that is 0.4 SDs above the average of all counties. Using regression, we would predict that its healthcare quality is _________ SDs above the average healthcare quality for all counties, and that it is therefore at the _________ percentile of healthcare quality among all counties. Choose the answer below to fill in the two blanks. Group of answer choices 0.31; 24th 0.78; 58th 0.78; 79th 0.31; 62nd PreviousNext
A researcher was investigating variables that might be associated with the academic performance of high school students. The data included the average Math SAS score of all high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable SAT-M), the average number of dollars per pupil spent on education by the city (labeled as the variable $Per Pupil), and the percentage of high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable %Taking). The researcher ran the following multiple linear regression model as SAT-M=Beta0 + Beta1($Per Pupil) + Beta2(%Taking). This model was fit to the data using the method of least-squares, results shown inside of table within photo. If we want to test using ANOVA F-test with hypotheses Ho: Beta1=Beta2=0 versus H1: at least one of the Beta is not 0, what would the value of our F-statistic mean?
Given a generic data set (x,y) with a linear regression. How do you determine if the y(dependent) will be less/greater than a certain value at a decided value of x?

** had to resubmit this question because the first time the data was duplicated and reflected incorrectly. The table below gives the number of hours spent unsupervised each day as well as the overall grade averages for seven randomly selected middle school students. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x, for predicting the overall grade average for a middle school student based on the number of hours spent unsupervised each day. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.
