Question 242

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The table below shows the wind speed y (in mph) of a hurricane versus the barometric pressure x (in mb) .  Barometric  Pressure (mb)  (x)   Wind  Speed (mph)  (y) 1,005351,004451,000509966598480970100949110929145904160\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \begin{array}{c}\text { Barometric } \\\text { Pressure (mb) (x) }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Wind } \\\text { Speed (mph) }(\mathbf{y}) \end{array} \\\hline 1,005 & 35 \\\hline 1,004 & 45 \\\hline 1,000 & 50 \\\hline 996 & 65 \\\hline 984 & 80 \\\hline 970 & 100 \\\hline 949 & 110 \\\hline 929 & 145 \\\hline 904 & 160 \\\hline\end{array}

a. Use the data in the table to find the least-squares regression line. Round the slope to 2 decimal places and the yy -intercept to the nearest whole unit.
b. Use the model in part (a) to approximate the wind speed of a hurricane with a barometric pressure of 900mb900 \mathrm { mb } .


A) a. y=1.38x+1,395y = - 1.38 x + 1,395 ; b. 155mph155 \mathrm { mph }
B) a. y=1.38x+1,395y = - 1.38 x + 1,395 ; b. 153mph153 \mathrm { mph }
C) a. y=1.2x+1,251y = - 1.2 x + 1,251 ; b. 171mph171 \mathrm { mph }
D) a. y=1.2x+1,251y = - 1.2 x + 1,251 ; b. 155mph155 \mathrm { mph }
