Question

Fire disturbance of terrestrial biomes is one of the primary factors in non-native plant species growth. A 2014 study by Pec and Carlton investigated the aftereffects of controlled fires on non-native grass growth. The data provided give measurements of the biomass in milligrams of non-native grass and native chaparral shrubs for several randomly selected plots of land in Bell Canyon, California.

CSV Excel JMP Mac-Text Minitab PC-Text R SPSS TI-Calc Calculate the y-intercept and slope of the least-squares regression line using non-native grass biomass to predict chaparral shrubs biomass. Give your answers precise to three decimal places. y-intercept: [ ] mg slope: -0.401 Using the least-squares regression line, calculate the predicted value and residual value for the data point where the non-native grass biomass is equal to 57 and the chaparral shrubs biomass is equal to 27. Give your answers precise to three decimal places. predicted value: [ ] mg residual value: [ ] mg Select the statement that represents the correct interpretation of the residual value. - The residual value measures the accuracy of the least-squares model. - The residual value measures the variation in the response variable. - The residual value measures how far away the observed value is from the predicted value.
