The data show the chest size and weight of several bears. Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the independent (x) variable. Then find the best predicted weight of a bear with a chest size of 44 inches. use a significance level of 0.05.
Chest size (inches) | 50 41 45 52 45 45
Weight (pounds) | 321 221 265 335 307 265
a. What is the regression equation?
^y = __ + __x (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
b. What is the best predicted value?
^y is about __ pounds (Round to one decimal place as needed.
