An agribusiness performed a regression of wheat yield (bushels per acre) using observations on 26 test plots with four predictors (rainfall, fertilizer, soil acidity, hours of sun). The standard error was 1.29 bushels. (a) Find the approximate width of a 95% prediction interval for wheat yield. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
yˆi ±
(b) Find the approximate width using the quick rule. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
yˆi ±
(c) The quick rule gives a similar result.
a. Yes
b. No

A)y ± ( 1.29 )

B) y ± 2.58

C ) yes

Step-by-step explanation:

standard error = 1.29 bushels

approximate width of 95% prediction interval for an individual can be represented as ;   ± ( SE )

degree of freedom

n = 26

k = 4

a) Approximate width of a 95% prediction interval for wheat yield

± ( SE )

Insert the values into the equation

n - k -1 = 26 - 4 - 1 = 21

y ± ( 1.29 ) you can get the value of from the t table for 21 degrees at 0.05 significance level

B)  The approximate width using the quick rule

y ± 2SE

y ± 2(1.29) = y ± 2.58

C) The quick rule gives a similar result = yes

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
