The boiling point of water was measured at different locations of varying barometric pressures. A regression line of the data is1.9x + 155.3, where y is the boiling point in degrees Fahrenheit and is the pressure in inches of mercury.Which statement best describes the meaning of the slope in the regression line?

Respuesta :

the slope represents:

[tex]\frac{change\text{ }in\text{ y variable}}{change\text{ }in\text{ x variable}}[/tex]

in this case

[tex]\frac{1.9}{1}=1.9\text{ }[/tex]

this is, The boiling point increases by 1.9° F for every inch of mercury the pressure increases, therefore:

answer: A.
