P = 18.617 + 103.929c. This is the regression equation for disk space (c, in megabytes) versus Price at a local store. With a capacity of 2 mb, what would you expect the price to be?

$226.475

What is the slope from the following:

m = 0.57971

200

What is the y-intercept for the following:


b = 9.53623

What is the variable for correlation in desmos?

r

What does a negative residual indicate - where is the observed value in comparison to the predicted value?

The observed is below the predicted value.

What is the line of best fit for the following linear regression performed on this scatterplot?

y=1.30x + 3.81

300

Predicted Price = 18.617 + 103.929 Capacity. This is the regression equation for disk space Capacity (in megabytes) versus Price (in dollars) at a local store. What does the slope of 103.929 mean in this context?

For every 1 mb increase in capacity, the price increases by $103.929.

The linear model for a local store's Number of Sales people working versus Sales is as follows: s = 8,106 + 91.34n. What is the y-intercept?

8,106

A restaurant's menu items are compared in terms of correlation. Sugar vs. Calories have a correlation of 0.25. Sugar vs. Protein has a correlation of -0.68. Which has a stronger correlation?

Sugar vs. Protein.

How many boys age is more than 1 years different from the age predicted by the line of best fit for the data?

3 boys (Tyrone, Patrick, Bobby)

The linear model for a local store's Number of Sales people working (n) versus Sales (s) is as follows: S = 8,106 + 91.34n. With 14 people working, what would you expect sales to be?

$9,384.76

400

The linear model for a local store's Number of Sales people working (n) versus Sales (s) is as follows: s = 8,106 + 91.34n. What does the slope mean in this situation?

For every increase of 1 sales person working, sales increase by $91.34.

400

p = 18.617 + 103.929c. This is the regression equation for disk space Capacity (c) versus Price (p) at a local store. Does the y-intercept have meaning?

Yes, the initial price of the disk with no capacity. No, it doesn't make sense because no one would be a disk with no capacity.

A student says, "There was a very strong correlation of 1.22 between Sugar and Fat content." Explain the mistake made here.

Correlation is between -1 and +1.

The linear model for a local store's Number of Sales people working (N) versus Sales (S) is as follows: S = 8,106 + 91.34N. If two people are working, the observed value is $8600. What is the residual?

$311.32
