1. You have to examine the relationship between the age and price for used cars sold in the
last year by a car dealership company.

Here is the table of the data:

Car Age (in Year) Price (In Hundred Thousands)

4 315
4 290
5 285
5 225
7 225
7 210
8 205
9 155
10 105
4 300
3 309

a. Determine the degree of relationship between in car’s age and the price.
b. Identify the equation of linear regression.
c. How much will a car worth after 6 years? 12 years? 15 years?
d. Explain the predicting capability of the equation.

2. With the growth of internet service providers, a researcher decides to examine

whether there is a correlation between cost of internet service per month (rounded to
the nearest dollar) and degree of customer satisfaction (on a scale of 1 - 10 with a 1
being not at all satisfied and a 10 being extremely satisfied). The researcher only includes
programs with comparable types of services. A sample of the data is provided below.
dollars satisfaction
11 6
18 8
17 10
15 4
9 9
5 6
12 3
19 5
22 2
25 10

a. Compute the correlation coefficient.

b. Determine the equation of regression if the level of satisfaction is being
predicted.
c. What satisfaction level would the customers achieved if they are paying $20?
$8? $16?
d. Determine the equation of regression if the cost is being predicted.
e. How much would it cost to have a satisfaction level of 7?
f. Explain the predicting capability of the equation.
