William Used a Sample of 68 Large U

Multiple Choice

William used a sample of 68 large U.S. cities to estimate the relationship between Crime (annual property crimes per 100,000 persons) and Income (median annual income per capita, in dollars) . His estimated regression equation was Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income. We can conclude that:

A) the slope is small so Income has no effect on Crime.
B) crime seems to create additional income in a city.
C) wealthy individuals tend to commit more crimes, on average.
D) the intercept is irrelevant since zero median income is impossible in a large city.
