### ProblemThe fish in my pond have a mean length of 10 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches and a mean weight of 4 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.6 pounds. The correlation coefficient of length and weight is 0.9. If the length of a particular randomly selected fish is reported to be 15 inches, then what should we predict for the weight of that fish using simple linear regression?### Options- 5.35- 2.52- 6.55- 2.5- NONE OF THE OTHERS### ExplanationTo solve this problem, we can use the formula for the equation of the regression line:\[ y = \bar{y} + r \cdot \frac{s_y}{s_x} \cdot (x - \bar{x}) \]Where:- $ x $ is the independent variable (fish length),- $ \bar{x} $ is the mean of $ x $ (10 inches),- $ s_x $ is the standard deviation of $ x $ (2 inches),- $ y $ is the dependent variable (fish weight),- $ \bar{y} $ is the mean of $ y $ (4 pounds),- $ s_y $ is the standard deviation of $ y $ (0.6 pounds),- $ r $ is the correlation coefficient (0.9).Substitute the values into the equation to find the predicted weight of the fish.

Let X be the length of the fish in inches and Y be the weight of the fish in pounds From the given information, it is observed that X = Mean length of the fish = 10 inches σx = Standard deviation of length of the fish = 2 inches Y = Mean weight of the fish = 4 pounds σy = Standard deviation of weight of the fish = 0.6 pounds r = Correlation coefficient between length and weight = 0.9The regression line of weight on length of the fish i.e. Y on X in a slope and point form is given by Y-Y = r σyσx(X-X) ⇒ Y-4 = 0.9×0.62(X-10) ⇒ Y-4 = 0.27(X-10) ⇒ Y-4 = 0.27 X - 2.7 ⇒ Y = 1.3 + 0.27 X The regression line of weight on length of the fish i.e. Y on X is Y ^ = 1.3 + 0.27 X If the length of the fish is 15 inches, the weight of the fish is Y ^ = 1.3 + 0.27 ×15 = 1.3 + 4.05 = 5.35 If the length of the fish is 15 inches, the weight of the fish is 5.35

In a sample of cars reviewed by Motor Trend magazine, the mean horsepower (hp) was 150 hp with a standard deviation of 36 hp. The mean weight (lbs) was 2500 lbs with a standard deviation of 720 lbs. Assume the relationship between weight and horsepower is linear and has a correlation of r = +0.55. What is the slope of the linear regression model predicting weight (y-variable) from horsepower (x-variable)? 9 13 15 11

A small independent organic food store offers a variety of specialty coffees. To determine whether price has an impact on sales, the managers kept track of how many kilograms of each variety of coffee were sold last month. The data and summary statistics (including the averages, standard deviations and the correlation coefficient) are shown in the table. If the "price per kilogram" is the predictor variable and "kilograms sold" is the response variable, then use a regression line to predict the the amount of kilograms sold for a "price per kilogram" equal to $15.

There is a dataset of size n = 51 and is for the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the United States. The dependent variable is year 2002 birth rate per 1000 females 18 to 19 years old and independent variable is the violent crime rate (per 1000 population). A simple linear regression model is run with the results given below. What is the Pearson correlation coefficient between x and y variables? The R squared of the model?

Consider a certain data set on shoulder girth and height of a group of individuals. The mean shoulder girth is 107.20 cm with a standard deviation of 10.37 cm. The mean height is 171.14 cm with a standard deviation of 9.41 cm. The correlation between height and shoulder girth is 0.67. Calculate R2 of the regression line for predicting height from shoulder girth, and interpret it in the context of the application.

Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, bo + b₁x, for predicting a woman's bone density based on her age. 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. tab ** Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window) Step 2 of 6: Find the estimated y-Intercept.
