1.)Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg). Write out the least-squares line y=a+bx
2.)Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg). The estimate y value found in the previous question is _____ (answers are either: an extrapolation, an interpolation, an error, or a residual)
1. y = 38.2620 - 0.4120*x
2. an interpolation
