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.
