Math Problem Statement

The estimated regression equation for a model involving two independent variables and 10 observations follows. ŷ = 21.1870 + 0.5701x1 + 0.4960x2 Predict y when x1 = 160 and x2 = 330.

Solution

To predict yy using the given regression equation:

y^=21.1870+0.5701x1+0.4960x2\hat{y} = 21.1870 + 0.5701x_1 + 0.4960x_2

Substitute x1=160x_1 = 160 and x2=330x_2 = 330:

y^=21.1870+0.5701(160)+0.4960(330)\hat{y} = 21.1870 + 0.5701(160) + 0.4960(330)

Step-by-step calculation:

  1. 0.5701×160=91.2160.5701 \times 160 = 91.216
  2. 0.4960×330=163.680.4960 \times 330 = 163.68
  3. Add these results to 21.1870:

y^=21.1870+91.216+163.68=276.083\hat{y} = 21.1870 + 91.216 + 163.68 = 276.083

Final Prediction:

y^=276.083\hat{y} = 276.083
