WooWoo,

owner of

Flower PetalFlower Petal,

operates a local chain of floral shops. Each shop has its own delivery van. Instead of charging a flat delivery fee,

WooWoo

wants to set the delivery fee based on the distance driven to deliver the flowers.

WooWoo

wants to separate the fixed and variable portions of

herher

van operating costs so that

sheshe

has a better idea how delivery distance affects these costs.

Explanation / Answer

1) Regression equation using Cost eqaution:

Cost'= 709.81+ 0.29*Miles

2) R-sqaured value: Coefficient of determination or Estimated probability variance by regression equation:

R-squared value: 0.75

3) Cost'= 709.81+ 0.29*Miles

miles= 17000

Cost'= 709.81 + 0.29* 17000 = 709.81+ 4930= 5639.31
