5.4 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 2.

• The predicted weight of the rat at birth.

• The current weight of the rat.

• The average increase in the rat's weight.
