Identify the dependent variable and the independent variable.2. Use your calculator to sketch a scatterplot for the data; include your viewing window and scale.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionPrice Sales3 245 187 158 219 1213 1515 918 63. Interpret the scatterplot by describing/identifying each of the following:form:direction:outliers:strength:4. Find the equation of best fit for the data and sketch your best-fit equation over your scatterplot.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic Regression5. For what values can we use this regression equation to make predictions?6. Use the regression equation to predict how many t-shirts this store should expect to sell if the price per t-shirt is $10.7. Write a sentence in the context of this scenario that interprets the value of the slope of the regression line.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionExample #2: The data given represent the length of long-distance phone calls (in minutes) and the phone bills (in dollars) for a particular customer.1. Identify the dependent variable and the independent variable.2. Use your calculator to sketch a scatterplot for the data; include your viewing window and scale.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionLength of CallPhone Bill200 50235 60250 62260 68262 63280 65300 63305 71320 70325 72350 75352 783. Interpret the scatterplot by describing/identifying each of the following:form:direction:outliers:strength:4. Find the equation of best fit for the data and sketch your best-fit equation over your scatterplot.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic Regression5. Should we use this regression equation to predict the phone bill amount for a phone call lasting 45 minutes? If yes, use your regression equation to predict the phone bill amount for a phone call lasting 45 minutes. If no, explain why not.6. Should we use this regression equation to predict the phone bill amount for a phone call lasting 290 minutes? If yes, use your regression equation to predict the phone bill amount for a phone call lasting 290 minutes. If no, explain why not.7. Write a sentence in the context of this scenario that interprets the value of the slope of the regression line.8. Write a sentence in the context of this scenario that interprets the value of the y-intercept of the regression line.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionExample #3: Because under-inflated or over-inflated tires can increase tire wear, a new tire was tested for wear at different tire pressures. The data below represent the pressure (in pounds per square inch) and mileage (in thousands of miles) obtained in a test of new tires.1. Identify the dependent variable and the independent variable.2. Use your calculator to sketch a scatterplot for the data; include your viewing window and scale.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionPressure Mileage28 4530 5232 5534 5136 473. Interpret the scatterplot by describing/identifying each of the following:form:direction:outliers:strength:4. Find the equation of best fit for the data and sketch your best-fit equation over your scatterplot.4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic Regression5. For what values can we use this regression equation to make predictions?6. Should we use this regression equation to predict the mileage for a car with a tire pressure of 31.5 pounds per square inch? If yes, use your regression equation to predict the mileage for a car with a tire pressure of 31.5 pounds per square inch. If no, explain why not.7. Should we use this regression equation to predict the mileage for a car with a tire pressure of 25 pounds per square inch? If yes, use your regression equation to predict the mileage for a car with a tire pressure of 25 pounds per square inch. If no, explain why not.8. According to the regression equation, what tire pressure yields the highest mileage?4.2 + 4.4 Linear and Quadratic RegressionIndependent Practice You learn math by doing math. The best way to learn math is to practice, practice, practice. The assigned homework examples provide you with an opportunity to practice. Be sure to complete every assigned problem (or more if you need additional practice). Check your answers to the odd-numbered problems in the back of the text to see whether you have correctly solved
