  1. The equation of the linear regression line is:   
    ˆyy^ =  ?+ x   (Please show your answers to 3 decimal places)  

  2. Use the model to predict the weight of a woman who spends 50 minutes on the phone.
    Weight = ? (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)  

  3. Interpret the slope of the regression line in the context of the question:  
    • For every additional minute women spend on the phone, they tend to weigh on averge 0.87 additional pounds.
    • As x goes up, y goes up.
    • The slope has no practical meaning since you cannot predict a women's weight.


  4. Interpret the y-intercept in the context of the question:
    • The y-intercept has no practical meaning for this study.
    • The average woman's weight is predicted to be 106.
    • The best prediction for the weight of a woman who does not spend any time talking on the phone is 106 pounds.
    • If a woman does not spend any time talking on the phone, then that woman will weigh 106 pounds.
