"Predicting y-Values In Exercises 3-6, use the multiple regression equation to predict the y-values for the values of the independent variables.
5. Black Cherry Tree Volume The volume (in cubic feet) of a black cherry tree can be modeled by the equation

Identify the multiple regression equation given: y = -52.2 + 0.3x1 + 4.5x2, where x1 is the tree's height and x2 is the tree's diameter.
For each set of values for x1 and x2, substitute the values into the regression equation. For example, for part (a), substitute x1 = 70 and x2 = 8.6.
Calculate the product of each coefficient and its corresponding independent variable: multiply 0.3 by x1 and 4.5 by x2.
Add the results from the multiplications to the intercept (-52.2) to find the predicted volume y for each case.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 for parts (b), (c), and (d) using their respective values of x1 and x2 to find all predicted volumes.

Multiple Regression Equation

A multiple regression equation models the relationship between one dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It predicts the dependent variable (y) by combining the independent variables (x₁, x₂, etc.) multiplied by their coefficients, plus a constant term. This allows for understanding how each predictor influences the outcome.

Interpreting Coefficients

Coefficients in a regression equation represent the expected change in the dependent variable for a one-unit increase in the corresponding independent variable, holding others constant. For example, a coefficient of 0.3 for height means each additional foot increases volume by 0.3 cubic feet, assuming diameter stays the same.

Prediction Using Regression

To predict y-values, substitute given values of independent variables into the regression equation and calculate the result. This process estimates the dependent variable based on the model, enabling practical predictions like estimating tree volume from height and diameter measurements.

"Confidence Intervals for y-Intercept and Slope

You can construct confidence intervals for the y-intercept B and slope M of the regression line y = Mx + B for the population by using the inequalities below.

y-intercept B :

b - E < B < b + E

where

E = t_c s_e \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\) + \(\frac{\overline{x}\)^2}{\(\sum\) x^2 - \(\frac{(\Sigma x)^2}{n}\)}}

slope M :

m - E < M < m + E

where

E = \(\frac{t_c s_e}{\sqrt{\sum x^2 - \frac{(\Sigma x)^2}{n}\)}}

The values of m and b are obtained from the sample data, and the critical value t_c is found using Table 5 in Appendix B with n - 2 degrees of freedom.

In Exercises 37 and 38, construct the indicated confidence intervals for B and M using the gross domestic products and carbon dioxide emissions data found in Example 2.
