Question

Write the multiple regression equation for miles per gallon as the response variable. Use weight and horsepower as predictor variables. See Step 5 in the Python script. How might the car rental company use this model

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Response Variable: Miles per gallon

Predictor Variables: Weight, Horsepower

The multiple regression equation would be: M = aW + bH + c

where M = miles per gallon

a = slope of the graph of W on M OR rate of change in M due to change in W

W = weight

b = slope of the graph of H on M OR rate of change in M due to change in H

H = horsepower

c = intercept of M on the y-axis OR constant variable

How might the car rental company use this model?

The car rental company might use the regression model to determine the following:

- Effect of weight (of car) on miles run per gallon (of premium motor spirit)

- Effect of horsepower on miles per gallon; etc.
