question 20

Multiple Choice

William used a sample of 68 large U.S. cities to estimate the relationship between Crime (annual property crimes per 100,000 persons) and Income (median annual income per capita, in dollars) . His estimated regression equation was Crime = 428 + 0.050 Income. We can conclude that:

• A)the slope is small so Income has no effect on Crime.

• C)wealthy individuals tend to commit more crimes, on average.
• D)the intercept is irrelevant since zero median income is impossible in a large city.
