Question

4) You are estimating the fuel consumption (gallons per mile) for intermediate armored vehicles based on the horsepower of the vehicle. The vehicle for which you are estimating has 4.77 hundred horsepower. Given the following equation, select the correct response from each pair. Fuel Consumption = - 0.03 + 0.22 (Horsepower in hundreds) (Show the Math) A: The dependent variable is Horsepower A: The dependent variable is Fuel Consumption B: The y-intercept is 0.22 B: The y-intercept is – 0.03 C: The estimated fuel consumption for your vehicle is .96 gallons per mile C: The estimated fuel consumption for your vehicle is 1.02 gallons per mile

Explanation / Answer

A: The dependent variable is Fuel Consumption [ANSWER]

Note that in y = B0 + B1 x, y = the dependent variable.

*****************

B: The y-intercept is – 0.03

Note that in y = B0 + B1 x, B0 = the y intercept.

***********************

As

Fuel Consumption = - 0.03 + 0.22 (Horsepower in hundreds)

Then

Fuel Consumption = - 0.03 + 0.22*4.77 = 1.0194 = 1.02

C: The estimated fuel consumption for your vehicle is 1.02 gallons per mile [ANSWER]
