Question

A manager wishes to determine the relationship between the number of miles traveled (in hundreds of miles) by her sales representatives and their amount of sales (in thousands of dollars) per month. Find the equation of the regression line for the given data. What would be the predicted sales if the sales representative traveled 0 miles? Is this reasonable? Why or why not? Round the predicted sales to the nearest dollar. Round the regression line values to the nearest hundredth. A. y = 37.92x + 3.53: exist3792: Yes, it is reasonable for a representative to travel 0 miles and have a positive amount of sales. B. y = 3.53x + 37.92: exist3792: No, it is not reasonable for a representative to travel 0 miles and have a positive amount of sales. C. y = 3.53x + 37.92: exist37, 920: Yes: it is reasonable for a representative to travel 0 miles and have a positive amount of sales. D. y = 3.53x + 37.92: exist37, 920: No: it is not reasonable for a representative to travel 0 miles and have a positive amount of sales.

Explanation / Answer

If x is 0 miles, the above equation gives y value of 3792 because the answer is in hundreds of miles. Also, if x is 0, it is readable to have positive sales because these might be the sales that the representative got without travelling . Answer A is correct
