Transcribed Image Text:What is the value of the intercept for the
regression equation?
Transcribed Image Text:The following data on N=10 subject measures their
sodium value and their blood pressure. Use this data to
answer the questions in this assignment. The excel file
we've used in class is available in the module
(sodium_bp_exercise.xlsx); however, it is void of all
formulas.

- A sports-equipment researcher was interested in the relationship between the speed of a golf club (in feet per second) and the distance a golf ball travels (in yards). Information was collected on several golfers and was used to obtain the regression equation ŷ = 2x - 106, where x represents the club speed and ŷ is the predicted distance. Which statement best describes the meaning of the slope of the regression line? For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed increases by 2 ft/sec. For each increase in distance by 1 yard, the predicted club speed decreases by 106 ft/sec. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance increases by 2 yards. For each increase in club speed by 1 ft/sec, the predicted distance decreases by 106 yards.arrow_forwardWhat are the interpretations of the Y intercept and the slopes in a multiple regression model?arrow_forwardWould the regression in Equation be useful for predicting test scoresin a school district in Massachusetts?

- How to know if obtaining a regression equation for the data appear reasonable?arrow_forwardData was collected for a regression analysis comparing car weight and fuel consumption. b0 was found to be 32.7, b1 was found to be -7.6, and R2 was found to be 0.86. Interpret the y-intercept of the line. On average, each one unit increase in the weight of a car decreases its ful consumption by 7.6 units. On average, when x=0, a car gets -7.6 miles per gallon. On average, when x=0, a car gets 32.7 miles per gallon. On average, each one unit increase in the weight of a car increases its fuel comsumption by 32.7 units. We should not interpret the y-intercept in this problem.arrow_forwardIn 2012, the CDC published data on the average weight of American female children by year. Using ages 1−7 of this data, researchers made a linear regression with age in years as the x variable and weight in pounds as the y variable. The equation of the line of best fit is yˆ=5.78x+17.56. According to the line of best fit, what would you predict the weight would be for a 14-year-old female? Is it reasonable to use this line of best fit to make this prediction?arrow_forward
