For a set of data: x = (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) and y=(36, 28, 25, 24, 23, 21, 19), is it wise to use a linear regression to extrapolate

data for x = 50? Solution: Since the coefficient of determination is 0.8582, the linear model is a reasonably good fit for the data, so extrapolation for any x-value is acceptable. What is wrong with this solution?

Answer:

The problem with this solution is that a regression model is not recommended to extrapolate because we do not know if the linear relation that we calculated for a specific range of x values still holds outside this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a linear regression model, with a range of the independent variable "x" that goes from 0 to 6.

The regression model finds a good fit (r=0.8582).

As it has a good fit, it is proposed to use this model to extrapolate and calculate the value of y for x=50.

It is not recommended to extrapolate a regression model unless we are really sure that the model is still valid within the range within we are extrapolating.

This means that if we have no proof that y has a linear relation in a range of x that includes x, the extrapolation has no validity and can lead to serious errors.

A linear regression model is only suitable for interpolation or extrapolating within the range we are sure that the relation between y and x is linear within a certain acceptable error.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 156 feet the length is 22 feet what is the width
dusya [7]

Answer:

W value 56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2L + 2W

Here P = 156 ft = 2(22 ft) + 2W, or

                 78 ft = 22 ft + W

This yields the W value 56 ft

Answer:

C=30.25x+17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

30.25 is how much it will cost you per hour

the per hour is represented by the x in the equation

and then you add 17.50 to that to represent the

amount you paid to rent the fishing gear

there is no variable after that because you only had to pay for it once
