Question

A data set whose original x values ranged from 241 through 290 was used to generate a regression equation of ŷ = -0.06x + 9.8. Use the regression equation to predict the value of y when x=240.24.2-4.6Meaningless result4.6

Answer 1

we have the equation

$\begin{gathered} ŷ=-0.06x+9.8 \\ For\text{ x=240} \\ ŷ=-0.06(240)+9.8 \\ ŷ=-4.6 \end{gathered}$

The answer is -4.6
