Linear Regression

A restaurant sells pizza for the prices in the data table.  Calculate the linear regression equation of the data.

• y = 1.5x + 12
• y = 12x + 1.5
• y = 0.67x - 8
• y = -8x + 0.67

A person travels by car.  They record their miles driven in a data table.  Calculate the linear regression equation of this data.

• y = 61.93x - 1.79
• y = -1.79x + 61.93
• y = 0.016x + 0.03
• y = 0.03x + 0.016

The chart below tracts starting salaries for health care workers since the year 2000. Using linear regression, find the equation of best fit. Round decimals to 3 places.

• y = 839.721x + 27541.812
• y = 27541.812x - 839.721
• y = 27541.812x + 839.721
• y = 839.721x - 27541.812

Find the equation of the line of best fit for the given data

• y = 163.41x+1.49

• y =- 163.41x+ 4.19

• y =- 4.19x+163.41

• y = 4.19x -163.41

Write the linear regression equation for the following data points. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Find the equation of the Line of Best Fit from the data set. 

• y = 0.892x - 1.82
• y = 1.82x - 5.02
• y = 0.796x + 5.02
• y = 1.82x + 5.02

The table shown is comparing a person's foot length to their height in cm. Calculate a line of best fit.

• f(x) = 25.05x + 5.57
• f(x) = 5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = -5.57x + 25.05
• f(x) = 5.57x - 25.05

Shelia collected data on ticket sales for the homecoming dance.  If she plots the data on the scatterplot shown above, which equation best models the table?

• y = 4.22x + 20.98
• y = 4.22x - 20.98
• y = -4.22x + 20.98
• y = -4.22x - 20.98

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books.  Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages. 

• 12 chapters
• 15 chapters
• 18 chapters
• 21 chapters

Describe the correlation in the graph shown.

• Strong Negative
• Strong Positive
• Weak Negative
• Weak Positive
