- A county real estate appraiser wants to develop a statistical model to predict the appraised value of houses in a section of the county called East Meadow. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Consequently, the appraiser decided to fit the simple linear regression model, y = b₁x + bowhere y = appraised value of the house (in $thousands) and x = number of rooms. Using data collected for a sample of n=74 houses in East Meadow, the following results were obtained: y = 74.80 + 17.80x Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $74,800. For each additional dollar of appraised value, we estimate the number of rooms in the house to increase by 17.80 rooms. For a house with O rooms, we estimate the appraised value to be $74,800. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the…arrow_forwardAn engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects the gas mileage, y.

In a recent year, the mean test score was 1471 and the standard deviation was 318. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1910, 1210, 2210, and 1370. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual.
