materials begin to decline?
b. What pattern does the per capita glass
waste materials seem to follow?

largest increase in time to walk the
mile occur?
b. As the participant’s age increases, what
happens to the time it takes the
participant to walk one mile?

BLACKLINE MASTER 7.3
ACTIVITY 1
5. increases
6. a line
7. 136 pounds
8. LINEAR REGRESSIONS
ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS
1. y= -.6x+ 103.1
2. y= 1.006x- 1410.4
BLACKLINE MASTER 8.3
ACTIVITY 1
1. y=1.02x+ 11.86
2. .992
ACTIVITY 2
1. y=.03x+ 41.858
2. .0607
9. OTHER REGRESSIONS AND MODEL OF
BEST FIT
ADDITIONAL PROBLEM
The best fitting regression model (excluding the
cubic and quartic models because the addition
of additional predictors will always increase r2)
is the quadratic model of Y = -.07x2+ 9.26x
240.52 with a r2value of .6254. The remaining
models and corresponding rvalues were:
exponential .4997
natural exponential. 4997
power .4793
linear .4788
natural log .4601
base ten log .4601
inverse .4411
