A large retailer manages inventory by using the regression equation Y’ = 0.65 X + 240 to predict the amount people will spend on clothing based on the amount they spend on entertainment.
If a person spends nothing on entertainment, how much would their predicted clothing expenditure be?
If a person spends $800 on entertainment, how much would their predicted clothing expenditure be?
Given that nothing is spent on entertainment, the predicted
clothing expenditure is computed here as:
Y = 0.65*0 + 240 = 240
Therefore 240 is the predicted expenditure required here.
Given that 800 is spent on entertainment, predicted clothing
expenditure here is computed as:
Y = 0.65*800 + 240 = 760
Therefore 760 is the predicted expenditure required here.
