Managers of an outdoor coffee stand in Coast City are examing the relationship between (hot) coffee sales and daily temperature, hoping to be able to predict a day's total coffee sales from the maximum temperature that day. The bivariate data values for the coffee sales (denoted by y, in dollars) and the maximum temperature (denoted by x, in degrees Fahrenheit) for each of sixteen randomly selected days during the past year are given below. These data are plotted in the...

The bivariate data values for the coffee sales (denoted by y, in dollars) and the maximum temperature (denoted by x, in degrees Fahrenheit) for each of fifteen randomly selected days during the past year are given below. These data are plotted in the scatter plot...
The table shows data collected on the relationship between the average daily temperature and coffee sales (in hundreds of dollars) at a coffee shop. The line of best fit for the data is -0.68z +85.1. Assume the line of best fit is significant and there is a strong linear relationship between the variables. Temperature (Degrees) Coffee Sales (in hundreds of dollars) 30 40 50 60 65 58 50 45 According to the line of best fit, what would be the...
A financial analyst is examining the relationship between stock prices and earnings per share.

Coastal State University is conducting a study regarding the possible relationship between the cumulative grade point average and the annual income of its recent graduates. A random sample of 151 Coastal State graduates from the last five years was selected, and it was found that the least-squares regression equation relating cumulative grade point average (denoted by x, on a 4-point scale) and annual income (denoted by y, in thousands of dollars) was ^y=36.86+5.50x . The standard error of the slope...
