Chapter 12.1, Problem 1PB
Car mileage and weight The Car Weight and Mileage data file on the book’s website shows the weight (in pounds) and mileage (miles per gallon) of 25 different model autos.
- a. Identify the natural response variable and explanatory variable.
- b. The regression of mileage on weight has MINITAB regression output
State the prediction equation and report they-intercept and slope.
- c. Interpret the slope in terms of a 1,000-pound increase in the vehicle weight.
Does the y-intercept have any contextual meaning for these data? (Hint: The weight values

- Demand for Candy Bars In this problem you will determine a linear demand equation that describes the demand for candy bars in your class. Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars? Would you buy a candy bar from the vending machine in the hallway if the price is as indicated. Price Yes or No 50 75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00arrow_forwardFind the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forward
