Before starting their graduate studies, a student wants to rent an apartment near the university. She wants to learn how the distance to the school affects the rent. Statistical software was used to conduct a simple linear regression about the relationship between the rent (in USD) of an apartment and its distance to the university (in miles). The following equation for the regression line was given:

RENT= 1200.4326 - 256.2567* DISTANCE

If she finds an apartment that is 1.2 miles away from school, what is its predicted rent?

The predicted rent, if the school is 1.2 miles away from the apartment is 896.52 USD.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple linear regression analysis is used to determine the relationship between the dependent variable (Y) and the independent variable (X).

The general form of a simple linear regression equation is:

Here,

α = intercept

β = slope coefficient

A student starting their graduate studies wants to rent an apartment (in USD) near the university.To do this she wants to learn how the distance (in miles) to the school affects the rent.

On conducting the simple linear regression analysis using a statistical software the regression equation obtained is:

Compute the value of y for x = 1.2 as follows:

Thus, the predicted rent, if the school is 1.2 miles away from the apartment is 896.52 USD.

answer: 91

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
