A production company is studying the relationship between the average cost/unit and number of units produced in a batch. A sample of 10 batches is selected and the data is given below.
No. of units produced Cost/unit 20 37.7158 35 35.0158 50 30.8158 65 25.8158 80 20.0364 95 16.9064 110 16.3766 120 13.8564 135 13.9696 150 13.847
a. Develop a scatter chart for these data. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between average cost/unit and number of units produced?
b. Regardless of your answer to part (a), develop an estimated simple linear regression equation for the data. How much variation in the sample values of cost/unit is explained by this regression model?

A research team in at the Gonzaga University is interested in predicting a student's overall university GPA if his/her high school GPA is known. Assume that a random sample of 20 students is selected from the data listed below. High School GPA University GPA 3.65 3.72 3.08 3.21 3.12 3 2.87 2.67 3.34 3.57 2.7 2.97 3.25 2.83 3.01 2.89 3.2 3.8 2.62 2.43 3.71 3.82 2.26 2.66 3.02 3.62 3.58 3.83 3.67 3.74 2.92 2.64 3.71 3.53 3.22 2.99 2.27 2.37 2.8 2.69
a. Develop a scatter chart for these data with High School GPA as the independent variable.What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between high school GPAs and overall university GPA?
b. Develop an estimated regression equation showing how high school GPA is related to overall university GPA.What is the estimated regression model?
c. What is the predicted overall university GPA of Sophia, a student who has been admitted to Gonzaga
University, with 3.40 high school GPA?

The multiple regression model represents pricing for residential housing in a certain market. Predicted Price ̂ = 19,856.56 + 6,985.25 bedrooms + 87.53 square foot. A house in the local market has 5 bedrooms and 3,500 square feet of living area. Use the multiple regression model to determine the predicted price and the residual if the house sells for $360,200.
