We expect a car’s highway gas mileage to be related to its city gas mileage (in mpg). Data for all 1209 vehicles in the government’s 2016 Fuel Economy Guide give the regression line
highway mpg=7.903+(0.993×city mpg)
for predicting highway mileage from city mileage.
(a) What is the slope of this line? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)
slope:
What does the numerical value of the slope tell you?
A) Highway gas mileage increases with city gas mileage by 7.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage.
B) For every 7.903 mpg in city gas mileage, highway gas mileage increases about 0.993 mpg.
C) On average, highway mileage increases by 0.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage.
D) On average, highway mileage increases by 7.903 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage.
E) On average, highway mileage decreases by 0.993 mpg for each additional mpg in city mileage.
(b) What is the intercept? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)
intercept:
mpg
Why is the value of the intercept not statistically meaningful?
A) The value of the intercept represents the predicted highway mileage for slope 0.
B) The value of the intercept represents the predicted highway mileage for city gas mileage of 0 mpg, and such a prediction would be invalid, since 0 is outside the range of the data.
C) The value of the intercept is an average value calculated from a sample.
D) The value of the intercept represents the predicted highway mileage for city gas mileage of 0 mpg, and such a car does not exist.
(c) Find the predicted highway mileage, y? , for a car that gets 15 miles per gallon in the city. (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)
y? =
mpg
Find the predicted highway mileage, y? , for a car that gets 23 miles per gallon in the city. (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places.)

we expect a cars gas mileage to be related to its city mileage. data for all 1198 vehicles in the governments 2008 Fuel Economy Guide give the regression line: highway mpg = 4.62 + (1.109 x city mpg) for predicting highway mileage from city mileage. A. What is the slope of this line? Say in words what the numerical value of the slope tells us. B. What is the intercept? Explain why the value of the intercept is not statically...
5). a. An engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects gas mileage, y. The accompanying data represent the weights of various domestic cars and their miles per gallon in the city for the most recent model year. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car (as well as with highway vs. city driving). Suppose your car averages 31 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 54 miles per hour, and it averages 29 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 69 miles per hour. Answer parts (a) and (b) below. a. What is the driving time for a 3000-mile trip if you drive at an...
I need help with the last part of this problem - (d) Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares regression line to predict the miles per gallon of a hybrid gas and electric car? Why or why not? - Thank you so much! An engineer wants to determine how the weight of a gas-powered car, x, affects gas mileage, y. The accompanying data represent the weights of various domestic cars and their miles per gallon in the city for...
Problem 5. The mileage of a certain make of car may not be exactly that rated by the manufacturer. Suppose ten cars of the same model were tested for combined city and highway mileages, with the following results: 1 Car No. Observed Mileage 35 40 37 4232 43 38 32 41 34 (mpg) 1 23 4 56 78 9 10 a) Estimate the sample mean and standard deviation of the actual mileage of this particular make of car. Suppose that...
a certain car model has a mean gas mileage of 34 Miles per gallon (mpg) with a population standard deviation for. A pizza delivery company buys a sample of 54 of these cars. What is the probability that the average mileage of the fleet is greater than 33.7 MPG? Question 14 (3 points) A certain car model has a mean gas mileage of 34 miles per gallon (mpg) with a population standard deviation 4. A pizza delivery company buys a...
A certain model of automobile has its gas mileage (in miles per gallon, or mpg) normally distributed, with a mean of 26 mpg and a standard deviation of 4 mpg. Find the probability that a car selected at random has the following gas mileages. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) less than 20 mpg (b) greater than 28 mpg (c) between 24 and 28 mpg
A car company says that the mean gas mileage for its luxury sedan is at least 23 miles per gallon (mpg). You believe the claim is incorrect and find that a random sample of 7 cars has a mean gas mileage of 21 mpg and a standard deviation of 4 mpg. At α-010, test the company's claim. Assume the population is normally distributed. here to view 1 of the normal Which sampling distribution should be used and why? O A....
Your used Chevy's gas mileage (in miles per gallon (mpg) is given as a function M (x) of speed in miles per hour (mph), where M(1) - 2000 Calculate M' (40), M' (50) and M' (60) rounded to two decimal places M' (40) = mpg/mph M' (50) = mpg/mph M' (60) = mpg/mph
