Use the Following Regression Equation Regarding Car Mileage for Following

question 24

Multiple Choice

Use the following regression equation regarding car mileage for following questions . Note that City is the estimated miles per gallon (mpg) a car gets while driving on city streets, and
Highway is the estimated miles per gallon (mpg) a car gets while driving on highways.
-Interpret the intercept in the context of the data. State whether the value is meaningful.

• A)The intercept is 0.892.For every additional mpg a car gets in the city, its highway mpg is predicted to increase by 0.892.The value is meaningful.
• B)The intercept is 1.337.For every additional mpg a car gets in the city, its highway mpg is predicted to increase by 1.337.The value is meaningful.
• C)The intercept is 0.892.If a car gets 0 mpg in the city, it will get 0.892 mpg on the highway. The value is not meaningful because if a car is not moving, it cannot have a mpg value.
• D)The intercept is 1.337.If a car gets 0 mpg in the city, it will get 1.337 mpg on the highway. The value is not meaningful because if a car is not moving, it cannot have a mpg value.
