(b) Interpret the slope and y-intercept, if appropriate. Begin by interpreting the slope. A. The slope of this least-squares regression line says that the distance the ball travels increases by the slope with every 1 mile per hour increase in the speed that the ball was hit OB. The slope of this least-squares regression line shows the distance that the ball would travel when the speed that the ball is hit is zero. OC. The slope of this least-squares regression line shows the increase in the speed that the ball was hit with every 1 foot increase in the distance that the ball was hit D. Interpreting the slope is not appropriate. Now interpret the y-intercept. OA. The y-intercept of this least-squares regression line shows the increase in the speed that the ball was hit with every 1 foot increase in the distance that the ball was hit. B. The y-intercept of this least-squares regression line shows the distance that the ball would travel when the speed that the ball is hit is zero. OC. The y-intercept of this least-squares regression line shows the speed that the ball is hit at when the distance that the ball travels is zero. OD. Interpreting the y-intercept is not appropriate. (c) Predict the mean distance of all home runs hit at 103 mph. The mean distance of all home runs hit at 103 mph is foet (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (d) If a ball was hit with a speed of 103 miles per hour, predict how far it will travel. If a ball is hit with a speed of 103 mph, the distance that it is most likely to travel is feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (e) Christian Yelich hit a home run 398 feet. The speed at which the ball was hit was 106.2 mph. Did this ball travel farther than you would have predicted? Explain. farther than the foot that would have been predicted given the speed with which the ball was hit. The ball (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (f) Would you feel comfortable using the least-squares regression model on home runs where the speed of the ball was 122 mph? Explain. A. Yes, because the least squares regression model is the most accurate way to predict the distance of all home runs hit. OB. Yes, because the least squares regression model can accurately predict the distance of home runs with a higher speed than was observed, but not lower. OC. No, because the least squares regression model cannot predict the distance of a home run when the speed of the ball is outside of the scope of the model. OD. No, because the least squares regression model can accurately predict the distance of home runs with a lower speed than was observed, but not higher. 4.2) Critical Values for the Correlation Coefficient following gue base k here to k here to D Critical Values for Correlation Coefficient n 3 0.997 4 0.950 Find the l 5 0.878 6 0.811 x+( 7 0.754 ound to thr 8 0.707 9 0.666 Interpret 10 0.632 gin by inte 11 0.602 12 0.576 13 0.553 A.
