Question

A data set whose original x values ranged from 120 through 351 was used to generate a regression equation of ŷ=0.06x + 14.2. Use the regression equation to predict the value of y when x=352.

Answer 1

Answer:

35.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation usually demonstrated as

y=a+bx.

In the above equation y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, a is the intercept of regression line and b is the slope of regression line.

The given regression equation is

y^=0.06x+14.2

The predicted value of y can be computed by simply putting the value of x in above equation.

So,

y^=0.06(352)+14.2

y^=21.12+14.2

y^=35.32

Thus, the predicted value of y for x=352 is 35.32.
