Answer #2

regression analysis between weight (y in pounds) and height (x in inches) resulted in the following least squares line: Y=140+5x. this implies if the height is increased by 1 inch, the weight is expected to increase on average by 5 pounds.

Answer :- True {

[ In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). ]

When X increase the value of m are increase X times.

So the given example is true.

A scatterplot of the weights (in pounds) against the tail lengths (in inches) of 10 wolves showed a moderately strong positive linear association. From the data, the regression model to predict the weights ( y ^ ) of these wolves from tail lengths ( x) was  y ^ = 3 x + 40. Interpret the slope of the regression line. Group of answer choices For every 1 inch increase in tail length, the predicted weight increases by 40 pounds. For every...
