The IRS wants to develop a method for detecting whether or not individuals have overstated their deductions for charitable contr

ibutions on their tax returns. To assist in this effort, the IRS supplied data found in the file IRS.xlsx that accompanies this book listing the adjusted gross income (AGI) and charitable contributions for 11 taxpayers whose returns were audited and found to be correct.
Required:
a. Prepare a scatter plot of the data. Does there appear to be a linear relationship between these variables?
b. Develop a simple linear regression model that can be used to predict the level of charitable contributions from a return's AGI. What is the estimated regression equation?
c. Interpret the value of R2.
d. How might the IRS use the regression results to identify returns with unusually high charitable contributions?

Answer:

ŷ = 195.698X - 6169.941 ;

R² = 0.9224 ; About 92% variation in the value of Charitable contribution can be explained by the best fit line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excel data:

AGI: (X) :

Charitable contribution Y:

6329

8017

7400

8600

12290

10406

11820

12090

14675

The scatter plot can b found in the picture attached below.

The estimated regression equation obtained is :

ŷ = 195.698X - 6169.941

Where ;

slope of the regression line = 195.698 ;

Intercept = - 6169.941

The R² value is called the Coefficient of determination which gives the proportion of variation due to the best fit line. Using the Coefficient determination calculator ; R² = 0.9224

About 92% variation in the value of Charitable contribution can be explained by the best fit line.

Michelle can fold 4 baskets of clothes in 54 minutes, while Ruby can fold 4 baskets of clothes in 108 minutes. How long will it
Lady bird [3.3K]
Michelle can fold 4/54 baskets per minute = 8/108 baskets per minute.
Ruby can fold 4/108 baskets per minute.

Each minute Michelle and Ruby work together, they can fold
   8/108 +4/108 = 12/108 = 1/9
of a basket of clothes. For 8 baskets of clothes, it will take them
   (8 baskets)/(1/9 baskets/minute) = 72 minutes
