please use this situation:
A small theater company has a linear regression model to estimate y = the concession stand sales in dollars, based on knowing x = the number of people in attendance. The regression equation is: = 6.72x + 11.50 and the correlation coefficient was r = 0.781. The data set saw the number of people in attendance ranging from a minimum of 18 people to a maximum of 170 people.
1) Interpret the slope of the regression equation in the context of the problem. If it would make sense, interpret the y-intercept and if it doesn’t make sense to do that say why.
A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and
number of situps a person can do (y).
The results of the regression were:
y=ax+b
a=-0.817
b=32.111
r²=0.877969
r=-0.937
Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 13.5 hour(s) of TV can do, and please round
your answer to a whole number.
For a group of children, mean age is 10 years
with S.D. 2·5 years. The average height of the group is 125 cms
with S.D. of 13 cms. The coefficient of correlation between age and
height is 0-6. Write the equation of two regression lines and explain
their use.
