Question

Transcribed Image Text:Use the following information to answer questions 6 and 7.
In a study, nine tires of a particular brand were driven on a track under identical conditions. Each tire was driven a particular controlled distance (measured in thousands of miles) and the tread depth was measured after the drive. Tread depth is measured in
"mils." Here, 1 mil is 0.001 inch. The least-squares regression line was computed and added to a scatterplot of these data. On the plot, one data point is marked with an "X."
The equation of the least-squares regression line is:
Tread depth = 360.64 - 11.39 Miles
The data value marked with "X" in the provided scatterplot has

We are interested in predicting body fat based on abdomen circumference. Find the equation of the regression line relating to body fat and abdomen circumference. Make a scatter-plot with a regression line. What body fat percent does the line predict for a person with an abdomen circumference of 110 cm? One of the men in the study had an abdomen circumference of 92.4 cm and a body fat of 22.5 percent. Find the residual that corresponds to this observation.

He studied the relationships between pairs of variables such as the size of parents and the size of their offspring.
