The federal Department of Transportation (DOT) believes that the 65-mph limit saves lives. To illustrate its contention, the department regressed the number of traffic fatalities (Y) last year in a state on the state’s population (X1), the number of days of snow cover (X2), and the average speed of all cars (X3). The results are shown below. From the results shown above, write the regression equation. What proportion of variation in the number of traffic fatalities can be explained by the regression model?arrow_forward

RADIO_ADS is the number of radio advertisements aired weekly by the agency. WS_DOLLARS is the dollar amount of the agency’s weekly spending on web search ads.

Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c).
