Question

Use a calculator to find the regression equation. Predict the average retail price of a car in

2003

Determine the year when the car will be worth

$1965

The regression equation is

yequals=(Type an expression using x as the variable. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.)

Average base retail price of a car bought in 1997. Let

xequals=1

Explanation / Answer

To find the regression equation using the graphing calculator you will need to use the following steps.

After this you will get the regression equation on graphing calculator.

The regression equation will be of type y = f(x) that is y = some function of x

To predict the average retail price of a car in 2003 , you will need to find the corresponding value of x that is number of years from 1997 to 2003 and then plug that value in the regression equation and get the average retail price of car in 2003.

Determine the year when the car will be worth $1965

Here you will need to find the value of x when y = $1965 using the regression equation.

After getting the value of x add it to the year 1997 to get the exact year when the car will be worth $1965.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks.
