Question 1
In a particular week, 20 school students were asked to record the amount of money spent at the canteen
(in dollars) and minutes of exercise during lunchtime (in minutes).
The equation of the least squares regression line for this data is:
(a) The number of minutes of exercise, correct to 3 significant figures, of a student who spends:
i. $16.50 at the canteen in a week
(b) The amount of money spent, to the nearest cent, by a student who did:
i. 30 minutes of exercise during lunchtime in a week
a) If a year 12 student has a foot length of 28cm, how tall is this student predicted to be?
b) The least squares regression line is used to predict the height of a student who has a foot length of
18cm.
i. How tall is this student predicted to be?
c) A year 12 student is 175cm tall. Using the least squares equation, what foot length would we expect this
student to have? Give your answer to four significant figures.
