Solution

To find out how much the pizza parlor can expect in profits if it sells 275 pizzas, we need to substitute x = 275 into the equation y = 3.009x – 77.131.

Step 1: Substitute x = 275 into the equation y = 3.009(275) – 77.131

Step 2: Multiply 3.009 by 275 y = 827.475 – 77.131

Step 3: Subtract 77.131 from 827.475 y = 750.344

So, the pizza parlor can expect to make approximately 750inprofitsifitsells275pizzas.Therefore,theanswerisB.750 in profits if it sells 275 pizzas. Therefore, the answer is B. 750.

A regression analysis between y, sales (in $1000) and x, advertising (in $) yielded the least squares line  = 60 + 5x. We can interpret the slope by saying that we estimate for each extra $1 spent on advertising that sales will increase by $5 000, on average.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

A consumer's spending is widely believed to be a function of their income. To estimate this relationship, a university professor randomly selected 19 of his students and collected information on their spending (Y, in dollars) and income (X, in dollars) patterns in week 6 of the semester. Assuming a linear relationship between Y and X, the professor used the least-squares method and found that the Y intercept = 20.90 and the slope = 0.66. Based on this information, the predicted mean weekly spending for a student with a weekly income of $225 would be ____________ dollars.
