(5.25) An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65 degrees F) over a 23-month period. He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An owner of a home in the Midwest installed solar panels to reduce heating costs. After installing the solar panels, he measured the amount of natural gas used  y (in cubic feet) to heat the home and outside temperature x (in degree-days, where a day's degree-days are the number of degrees its average temperature falls below 65oF) over a 23-month period.

He then computed the least-squares regression line for predicting y from x and found it to be:   y^=80+16x.  

How much, on average, does gas used increase for each additional degree-day?

Answer : ______ cubic feet.

(Give your answer as a whole number.)

Amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let the dependent variable y be the amount of natural gas used ( ft³ )

Also let an independent variable x be be the degree days temperature ( in °F)

So the least squares regression equation is;

= 80 + 16x

or

amount_of_natural_gas_used = 80 + 16(degree_days_temperature

Th slope or the standardized regression coefficient of the given regression equation is;

b₁ = 16

the slope coefficient b₁ = 16 is tells us that for each additional one-degree days temperature, an amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

Therefore, amount of natural gas used increased by 19 cubic feet.

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !

17   x 256=4352

sorry if this is wrong, i'm new.
