Which type of regression model does the scatter plot appear to show?

• linear

• exponential

• quadratic

The linear regression equation is y = 61.93x - 1.79.  Use the equation to predict how far this person will travel after 10 hours of driving.

• 10 miles
• 617.5 miles
• 0.19 miles
• 500 miles

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.

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 scatter plot below shows the number of books read by students in Mrs. Hall’s English class and their final grades. Which statement represents the best description about the line of best fit?

• The more books students read, the lower their English grade.

• The more books students read, the higher their English grade.

• The fewer books students read, the higher their English grade.

• No relationship exists between the number of books students read and their English grades.

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.
