The equation used to predict annual cauliflower yield (in pounds per acre) is

ModifyingAbove y with caret equals 24 comma 127 plus 4.473 x 1 minus 4.708 x 2y=24,127+4.473x14.708x2,

where

xSubscript1

is the number of acres planted and

xSubscript2

is the number of acres harvested. Use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables.

(a)

xSubscript1equals=35, 300

xSubscript2equals=35, 600

(b)

xSubscript1equals=37,000

xSubscript2equals=37,200

(c)

xSubscript1equals=38,000

xSubscript2equals=38,100

(d)

xSubscript1equals=41,200,

xSubscript2equals=41,300
