Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the least squares regression line Question A scientific study on gerbil population growth results in the data below. x y 8 63 11 77 14 86 17 90 20 140 T... he least squares regression line modeling this data is given by yˆ=13.3+5.567x. What is the intercept of the regression line? Round your answer to one decimal place. Answer 1: Keep trying - mistakes can help us grow. $$3 Answer 2: Not quite - review the answer explanation to help get the next one. $$17 Answer Explanation Correct answers: $13.3$13.3 The equation y=mx+b defines a line with a slope of m and a y-intercept of b. In this case the intercept or the constant added to x is 13.3.

Understand the difference between correlation and causation Question Suppose that a large controlled experiment tests whether caffeine improves reaction times. A very large number of randomly selected participants are randomly given identical-seeming pills with varying doses of caffeine (including none) and then given tests of reaction times under the same conditions. The experiment finds a strong negative correlation between caffeine dose and reaction time. (Note that lower reaction times are better.) Identify what can be concluded based on this information. Not quite right - check out the answer explanation.
