Pedro became interested in vehicle fuel efficiency,so he performed a simple regression using 93 cars to estimate the model CityMPG = β0 + β1 Weight,where Weight is the weight of the vehicle in pounds.His results are shown below.Write a brief analysis of these results,using what you have learned in this chapter.Is the intercept meaningful in this regression? Make a prediction of CityMPG when Weight = 3000 and also when Weight = 4000.Do these predictions seem believable? If you could make a car 1000 pounds lighter,what change would you predict in its CityMPG?
Random Assignment
A method used in experiments to distribute participants across various control and experimental groups in a way that each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to any group, minimizing biases.
