The following data represent the speed at which a ball was hit (in miles per hour) and the distance it traveled (in feet) for a random sample of home runs in a Major League baseball game in 2018. Complete parts (a) through (f). (a) Find the least-squares regression line treating speed at which the ball was hit as the explanatory variable and distance the ball traveled as the response variable. ŷ = [ ]x + ([ ]) (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Data Table Speed (mph) Distance (feet) 105.5 414 98.0 395 110.4 427 100.8 394 103.5 422 101.4 399 103.0 393 101.3 393 103.5 395 107.9 441 104.8 421 103.3 408

(c) Predict the mean distance of all home runs hit at 103 mph. The mean distance of all home runs hit at 103 mph is feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (d) If a ball was hit with a speed of 103 miles per hour, predict how far it will travel. If a ball is hit with a speed of 103 mph, the distance that it is most likely to travel is feet. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (e) Christian Yelich hit a home run 398 feet. The speed at which the ball was hit was 106.2 mph. Did this ball travel farther than you would have predicted? Explain. The ball farther than the feet that would have been predicted given the speed with which the ball was hit.

A pro golfer collects data on her clubhead speeds in mph and distance in yards for 20 games. Clubhead Speed (mph) Distance (yards) Clubhead Speed (mph) Distance (yards) 79 211 95 255 83 214 96 248 85 221 97 263 88 225 98 273 89 225 98 285 90 228 100 280 90 239 101 286 92 240 104 289 93 250 106 294 95 247 106 299 (a) The golfer would like to find the least squares regression line predicting distance traveled (y) from clubhead speed (x) for the 20 games she played. Create a scatterplot of the data. Does a linear regression model make sense for these data? Yes/No (b) Calculate the slope. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Calculate the y-intercept. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) For every 1-mph increase in swing speed, the distance traveled by the golf ball increases by 3.6963 yards. True/False
