The admissions officer for a certain college developed the following estimated regression equation relating the final college GPA to the student's SAT mathematics score and high school GPA. ŷ = −1.39 + 0.0234x1 + 0.00482x2 where x1  =  high-school grade point average x2  =  SAT mathematics score y  =  final college grade point average.

The accompanying data are the number of wins and the earned run averages (mean number of earned runs allowed per nine innings pitched) for eight baseball pitchers in a recent season. Find the equation of the regression line. Then construct a scatter plot of the data and draw the regression line. Then use the regression equation to predict the value of y for each of the given x-values, if meaningful. If the x-value is not meaningful to predict the value of y, explain why not. (a) x = 5 wins Click the icon to view the table of numbers of wins and earned run average. (b) x = 10 wins (c) x = 21 wins (d) x = 15 wins ERA 6- ERA 6- AERA 6- ERA 6- 4- 4- 4- 4- 2- 2- 2- 2- 0+ 6 0- 0- 0- 12 18 24 6. 12 18 24 12 18 24 6 12 18 24 Wins Wins Wins Wins (a) Predict the ERA for 5 wins, if it is meaningful. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. ŷ= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) B. It is not meaningful to predict this value of y because…

A regression analysis was performed to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (xx) and number of sit ups a person can do (yy). The results of the regression were: y=ax+b a=-1.013 b=27.906 r2=0.498436 r=-0.706 Use this to predict the number of sit ups a person who watches 12 hours of TV can do, and please round your answer to a whole number.

The following data show the brand, price ($), and the overall score for six stereo headphones that were tested by a certain magazine. The overall score is based on sound quality and effectiveness of ambient noise reduction. Scores range from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). The estimated regression equation for these data is ý = 22.525 + 0.325x, where x = price ($) and y overall score. %3D Brand Price ($) Score 180 78 B. 150 71 C 95 59 70 54 E 70 40 35 28 (a) Compute SST, SSR, and SSE.
