7. a) A study measures how the number of hours of sleep a person gets affects the number of errors they make in a test of short term memory. The regression finds the slope (b) = -3 and the intercept (a) = 25. Interpret the slope in a sentence. Interpret the intercept in a sentence.
b) A study measures how a person’s age (in years) affects the number of messages they get on a dating site. The regression finds the slope (b) = -2 and the intercept (a) = 100. Interpret the slope in a sentence. Interpret the intercept in a sentence.
c) For which of the two studies mentioned above is it more reasonable to interpret the intercept and why?

Jerry plans on registering for five classes this semester: English Composition, Physics, Physics Lab, Java, and Music Appreciation. However, he is not sure if these classes are being offered this semester or if there will be timing conflicts. Also, two of the classes, Physics and Physics Lab, must be taken together during the same semester. Therefore, if he can register for only one of them, he will not take either class. If, for any reason, he cannot register for a class, he will identify and register for a different class to take its place and that fits his time schedule. Use a decision table that shows all rules to represent this logic.
