Find the regression​ equation, letting the first variable be the predictor​ (x) variable. Using the listed​ lemon/crash data, wh

ere lemon imports are in metric tons and the fatality rates are per​ 100,000 people, find the best-predicted crash fatality rate for a year in which there are 425 metric tons of lemon imports. Is the prediction​ worthwhile?

232 16
268 15.7
361 15.4
472 15.5
535 15

The regression analysis evaluates the amount of relationship that exists

between the variables in the analysis.

  • The regression equation is; \underline{\overline y = -0.00255 \cdot \overline x + 16.47268}
  • The prediction is worthwhile because it gives an idea of the observed Crash Fatality Rate and it is therefore approximately correct.

Reasons:

First part;

The given data is presented as follows;

\begin{tabular}{|cc|c|}Lemon Imports (x) &&Crash Fatality Rate\\232&&16\\268&&15.7\\361&&15.4\\472&&15.5\\535&&15\end{array}\right]

The least squares regression equation is; \overline y =  b \cdot \overline x + c

Where;

b = \mathbf{\dfrac{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right) \times \left(y_i - \bar y\right) }{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right )^2 }}

\overline y = The mean crash fatality = 15.52

\overline x = The mean lemon import = 373.6

Therefore;

b = \dfrac{-171.36 }{67093.2 } = -0.00255

c = \overline y - b·\overline x = 15.52 - (-0.00255)×373.6 = 16.47268

Therefore;

  • The regression equation is \underline{\overline y = -0.00255 \cdot \overline x + 16.47268}

Second part;

When the imports is 425 metric tons of lemon, we have;

\overline y = -0.00255 × 425 + 16.47268 = 15.38893 ≈ 15.4

Therefore;

When the import is 425 metric tons, the Crash Fatality Rate ≈ 15.4

Given that the predicted value is between the values for 268 and 535, we

have that the prediction is approximately correct or worthwhile

<u>The prediction is worthwhile</u>

A soda manufacturer knows that sales of soda increase during the summer. To make sure that they get a large portion of the sales
Maslowich

Answer:

a.) Probability = 1/5

b.) 10 soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a game of chance.

The initial chance = 1/12

If Lucky Lucy bought five sodas and won a free one with four of the caps. The probability of that happening will be 1/5

Having a greater than 50% chance of winning a free soda means having probability greater than half. That is,

Probability > 1/2

You would have to buy (12 - 2) soda. Which is equal to 10.
