Chapter 10: Q1BSC (page 468)

Different hotels on Las Vegas Boulevard (鈥渢he strip鈥�) in Las Vegas are randomly selected, and their ratings and prices were obtained from Travelocity. Using technology, with xrepresenting the ratings and yrepresenting price, we find that the regression equation has a slope of 130 and a y-intercept of -368.

a. What is the equation of the regression line?

b. What does the symbol\(\hat y\)represent?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The regression equation is \(\hat y = - 368 + 130x\).

b. The symbol \(\hat y\)represents the predicted value of the price.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The variable x represents the ratings and y represents the price. The slope is 130 and the y-intercept is -368.

02

State the general equation of the linear regression

The general equation of the regression equation is given as,

\(\hat y = {b_0} + {b_1}x\)

where \({b_0}\) is the intercept and \({b_1}\) is the slope.

03

Provide the linear regression equation

a.

The regression equation can be obtained by substituting the value of slope and intercept in the general regression equation.

Thus, the regression equation is given as,

\(\hat y = - 368 + 130x\)

04

Provide the meaning of the symbol

b.

The symbol\(\hat y\)in the regression equation equals to\({b_0} + {b_1}x\).

The symbol\(\hat y\)in the regression equation represents the predicted value of the dependent variable.

This implies, in the given scenario, that the symbol \(\hat y\) represents the predicted value of the price.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Outlier Refer to the accompanying Minitab-generated scatterplot. a. Examine the pattern of all 10 points and subjectively determine whether there appears to be a correlation between x and y. b. After identifying the 10 pairs of coordinates corresponding to the 10 points, find the value of the correlation coefficient r and determine whether there is a linear correlation. c. Now remove the point with coordinates (10, 10) and repeat parts (a) and (b). d. What do you conclude about the possible effect from a single pair of values?

Testing for a Linear Correlation. In Exercises 13鈥�28, construct a scatterplot, and find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r. Also find the P-value or the critical values of r from Table A-6. Use a significance level of A = 0.05. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation between the two variables. (Save your work because the same data sets will be used in Section 10-2 exercises.)

Tips Listed below are amounts of bills for dinner and the amounts of the tips that were left. The data were collected by students of the author. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the bill amounts and the tip amounts? If everyone were to tip with the same percentage, what should be the value of r?

Stocks and Sunspots. Listed below are annual high values of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and annual mean sunspot numbers for eight recent years. Use the data for Exercises 1鈥�5. A sunspot number is a measure of sunspots or groups of sunspots on the surface of the sun. The DJIA is a commonly used index that is a weighted mean calculated from different stock values.

Hypothesis Test The mean sunspot number for the past three centuries is 49.7. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the eight listed sunspot numbers are from a population with a mean equal to 49.7.

In Exercises 9鈥�12, refer to the accompanying table, which was obtained using the data from 21 cars listed in Data Set 20 鈥淐ar Measurements鈥� in Appendix B. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal).

Which regression equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why?

In Exercises 5鈥�8, we want to consider the correlation between heights of fathers and mothers and the heights of their sons. Refer to theStatCrunch display and answer the given questions or identify the indicated items.

The display is based on Data Set 5 鈥淔amily Heights鈥� in Appendix B.

Identify the multiple regression equation that expresses the height of a son in terms of the height of his father and mother.
