Water is being poured into a large cone shape cistern. The volume of water measured and centimeters cubed is reported at different time intervals measured in seconds. A regression analysis was completed and is displayed in the computer output.
what is the equation of the lease squared regression line?
A local retail store compared their monthly sales of umbrellas with the amount of rainfall that occured
during that month. They computed the following statistics:
Rainfall (in) # of umbrellas
mean = 4.64
mean = 34.2
SD = 1.17
SD = 13.2
r = 0.8
1. Find the equation for the regression line that predicts the monthly sales of umbrellas from monthly
rainfall.
Moisture content in percent by volume (x) and conductivity in mS/m (y) were measured for
50 soil specimens. The means and standard deviations were =8.1, s, = 1.2. 5 = 30.4, s, =1.9
. The correlation between conductivity and moisture was computed to be r = 0.85. Find the
equation of the least-squares line for predicting soil conductivity from moisture content.
