Some data were collected on the weight of a male white laboratory rat for the first 25 weeks after its birth. The linear regression equation is (predicted weight)=100 + 40(time). Which is the best description of the slope for this regression equation in context of the problem?

The slope is 40 grams/week which means the mouse is predicted to gain about 40 grams per week after birth.

The slope of the line of regression is the time since birth of the rate. It demonstrates the predicted weight of a laboratory rate after so many months since birth.

The slope is 40 and it means every 40 weeks, the mouse is predicted to gain a gram.

The slope is 40, which tells us the line increases.

Interpret the slope of the Least Squares Line Equation.

As hours increases by one, income will increase by 31.45, on average

Income increases by 31.45 with each additional hour worked.

As hours increases by one, income will increase by 31.45

Interpret the y - intercept for the linear regression equation (predicted weight) = 100 + 40(age) for the weight of rats in grams and age is in weeks.

The y-intercept is 100 which means the rat is predicted to weigh about 100 grams at birth.

The y-intercept is about 100, which means the rats gain about 100 grams a week.

The y-intercept is 40 which means rats are predicted to weigh 40 grams at birth.

The y-intercept is 40 which indicates that the rats grow about 40 grams per week.

Leslie cleans the barns for the horses. Her time spent cleaning can be modeled by the equation y = 15 x + 30, where x represents the number of stalls that contains horses. What is the meaning of the y-intercept?

the time it takes to clean an empty barn

The time it takes to clean one horse

the time it takes to clean one stall

the times it takes to clean each of the stalls with a horse

The equation y-hat = 7 - 2x models the amount of gas remaining in a lawnmower after x hours of use since it was filled. What is the meaning of the slope?

For each hour of mowing, the mower is predicted to use 2 gallons.

the predicted amount of gas the lawnmower can hold is 2 gallons

For every two hours of mowing, the mower is predicted to use 7 gallons.

The predicted amount of gas remaining after 1 hour is 2 gallons.
