Question 6

Answer 1

Answer:

24.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Month (X) : 0, 1, 2, 4, 6

Weight (Y) : 7.2, 9.4, 10.5, 13.2, 15.9

To obtain the predicted weight at 1 year, we fit the data to obtain the regression model. Using technology, the regression model obtained is :

y = 7.6 + 1.4X1

Substituting x = 1 year into the regression model, we obtained the predicted weight at 1 year ;

1 year = 12 months, hence, x = 12

y = 7.6 + 1.4(12)

y = 7.6 + 16.8

y = 24.4
