b. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to compute the regression coefficients by and by.
bo-35.73 and bā = 1.36
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Interpret the meaning of the Y-intercept, bo, and the slope, bā. Choose the correct answer below.
A. A practical interpretation of the Y-intercept bo is not meaningful because no operating restaurant is likely to have a rating of z
dollars.
OB. The Y-intercept, bo, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per meal is equal to bo. in dollars. The
OC. The Y-intercept, bo, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per meal is equal to bo. in dollars. The
OD. The Y-intercept, bo, implies that if the summated rating of a restaurant is zero, the cost per person is bo, in dollars. The slope
d. Predict the mean cost per person for a restaurant with a summated rating of 40.
=$ per person (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
