Linear Regression Review #2

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 number of newly reported crime cases in a county in New York State is shown in the accompanying table, where x represents the number of years since 1994, and y represents number of new cases. Write the linear regression equation that represents this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest hundredth. Using this equation, find the projected number of new cases for 2003, rounded to the nearest whole number.

• 974

• 25,101

• 940

• 952
