Question

The table below gives the list price and the number of bids received for five randomly selected items sold through online auctions. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, y^=b0+b1x, for predicting the number of bids an item will receive based on the list price. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

Price in Dollars	22	25	32	33	38
Number of Bids	3	5	6	9	10

Step 1 of 6:

Find the estimated slope. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 2 of 6:

Find the estimated y-intercept. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 3 of 6:

Determine the value of the dependent variable y^ at x=0.

(choose one)

b0, b1, x, y

Step 4 of 6:

Determine if the statement "Not all points predicted by the linear model fall on the same line" is true or false.

Step 5 of 6:

Find the estimated value of y when x=25x=25. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 6 of 6:

Find the value of the coefficient of determination. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer 1

Independent variable (X): Price in dollars

Dependent variable (Y): Number of bids

	X	Y	X^2	Y^2	XY
	22	3	484	9	66
	25	5	625	25	125
	32	6	1024	36	192
	33	9	1089	81	297
	38	10	1444	100	380
Total	150	33	4666	251	1060
