What Is the Relationship Between Diamond Price and Carat Size 0.180.18

Question 16

Multiple Choice

What is the relationship between diamond price and carat size? 307 diamonds were sampled (ranging in size from 0.180.18 to 1.11.1 carats) and a straight-line relationship was hypothesized between y=y = diamond price (in dollars) and x=x = size of the diamond (in carats) . The simple linear regression for the analysis is shown below:

Interpret the estimated y-intercept of the regression line.


A) No practical interpretation of the y-intercept exists since a diamond of 0 carats cannot exist and falls outside the range of the carat sizes sampled.
B) When a diamond is 11598.9 carats in size, we estimate the price of the diamond to be $2298.36.
C) When a diamond is 0 carats in size, we estimate the price of the diamond to be $2298.36.
D) When a diamond is 0 carats in size, we estimate the price of the diamond to be $11,598.90.
