Question

24 : 54 26

25: 73 49

A magazine publishes restaurant ratings for various locations around the world. The magazine rates the restaurants for food, decor, service, and the cost per person. Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the three ratings. The magazine has compiled the accompanying table of this summated ratings variable and the cost per person for 25 restaurants in a major city. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Click the icon to view the table of summated ratings and cost per person. b_0 = and b_1 = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. Interpret the meaning of the Y-intercept, b_0, and the slope, b_1. Choose the correct answer below. A. The Y-intercept, b_0, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per person is b_0, in dollars. The slope, b_1, implies the average cost per person is b_1 dollars. B. The Y-intercept, b_0, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per meal is equal to b_0, in dollars. The slope, b_1, implies that for each increase of 1 in the summated rating, the cost per person is expected to decrease by b_1, in dollars. C. A practical interpretation of the Y-intercept b_0 is not meaningful because no operating restaurant is likely to have a rating of zero. The slope b_1 implies that for each increase of 1 in the summated rating, the cost per person is expected to increase by the value of b_1, in dollars. D. The Y-intercept, b_0, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per meal is equal to b_0, in dollars.

Explanation / Answer

We copy the data in excel. There we go to Data Analysis and select the Regression. We input the data for x and y and we get the regression output where we can find the b0 and b1 values.
