Ascatter plot with the least squares regression line is shown. estimate the value to the nearest half unit. what is the predicted value for x=5? a: 8 b: 3 c: -3 d: 11

Option a - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scatter plot with the least squares regression line is shown.  

To find : What is the predicted value for x=5?        

Solution :

Refer the attached scatter plot below with the least squares regression line,

We have seen that at the value of x=5

The line intersect at the point where response variable is 8.

So, The predicted value for x=5 is 8.

Therefore, Option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
