Linear Regression

Data was collected on the weight of a male laboratory rat for the first 25 weeks after its birth. The linear regression equation is y= 40x+100, where x is number of weeks and y is weight in grams. What does the y-intercept mean in context of the problem?

• The predicted weight of the rat in year 0.

• The predicted weight of the rat at birth.

• The current weight of the rat.

• The average increase in the rat's weight.

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79. According to the model, the slope can be interpreted as:

• After 0 hours of driving, they went 61.93 miles.

• They drove at a speed of 61.93 miles per hour.

• They drove 61.93 miles total.

• They drove 61.93 hours total.
