Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 10E
Suppose the expected cost of a production run is related to the size of the run by the equation y = 4000 + 10x. Let Y denote an observation on the cost of a run. If the variables’ size and cost are related according to the simple linear regression model, could it be the case that P(Y > 5500 when x = 100) = .05 and P(Y > 6500 when x = 200) = .10? Explain.
