A used car dealer wants to develop a regression equation that determines mileage as a function of the age of a car in years. He collects the data shown below for the 12 cars he has on his lot.
a) What is the slope of the regression equation? Give your
answer to two decimal places.
b) What is the value of the correlation coefficient? Give your
answer to two decimal places.
c) A 4 year old car is delivered to his lot with 160000 miles.
Manually enter these values in the data table above and rerun the
regression analysis. What is the value of the slope? Give your
answer to two decimal places.
d) Including the additional car, what is the value of the
correlation coefficient? Give your answer to two decimal
places.
e) Did the additional car strengthen or weaken the linear
relationship between age and mileage?
It strengthened the linear relationship.
It weakened the linear relationship.
Can not be determined.
