In the regression equation y=a+bxy = a + bx, what does bb represent?

The slope of the line

For price =35100−3940×= 35100 - 3940 \times age, what does the slope −3940-3940 mean?

Price decreases 3940 USD per year

In price =35100−3940×= 35100 - 3940 \times age, what does the intercept 3510035100 represent?

Average price when age is 0 years

Using price =35100−3940×= 35100 - 3940 \times age, what is the predicted price for a 5.5-year-old car?

13430 USD

For car data aged 1-8 years, predicting a 5.5-year-old car's price is an example of what?

Interpolation (reliable)

If the correlation coefficient is r=−0.9643r = -0.9643, what is r2r^2?

0.930 or 93.0%

What does r2=0.93r^2 = 0.93 mean for car prices and age?

93% of price variation explained by age

What r2r^2 value generally indicates good predictive power?

Greater than 0.30 (30%)

If actual price is 6500 USD and predicted price is 11460 USD, what is the residual?

-4960 USD

What does random scatter around zero in a residual plot indicate?

Linear model is appropriate
