Question

My The figure for this exercise is a scatterplot of average math test score versus percent of graduating seniors who took the test for the 50 states. The regression line for these data is expressed with the following formula Average math-575-1.11 (Pecent took a. From the choices below, the best interpretation of the estimated slope is... (there is just one correct answer; you have 2 attempts) O For each 1 unit decrease in the percentage of high school graduates taking the test, the predicted average math test score decreases 1.11 points O For each 1 unit increase in the percentage of high school graduates taking the test, the predicted average math test decreases 1.11 points O If all high school seniors in a particular state take the exam, the average math score is expected to be 575 points O For each 1.11 point decrease in average math test scores, the predicted percentage of high school graduates taking the test increases by 1 O If no high school seniors in a particular state take the exam, the average math score is expected to be 575 points b. In a certain state, only 6% of graduates take the test, what is the predicted average math test score for this state? (careful here: note that, for the the predictor variable, the units are already in percentage. You do not need to move the decimal place.) (Round the answer to two decimal places.) C. Suppose that the average math test score was 577 for the state in part b. What is the residual (prediction error) for this state? (Round the answer to to two decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

fr each 1 unit increase in the percentage of high school graduates taking the test ; the predicted math test decreases 1.11 points

b)

predicted math test score =575-1.11*6=568.34

c)

residual =actual-predicted =577-568.34=8.66
