Question

Tara is an arborist who is looking to find an equation that predicts the trunk diameter of an Eastern white pine, y, in inches, given its height, x1, in feet and its age, x2, in years. She obtains the regression equation yˆ=6.32+0.205x1+0.022x2. Predict the trunk diameter of an Eastern white pine tree that is 81 feet tall and 55 years old, rounding to two decimal places.

Question

An assistant principal of a school wants to predict the annual salary, y, in thousands of dollars, of a teacher in a school district, given the number of years of teaching experience x1, the total number of years of education x2, and the average scores of the teacher’s students on a standardized test x3.
