The following data represent the maximum wind speed (in knots) and atmospheric pressure (in millibars) for a random sample of hurricanes that originated in the Atlantic Ocean. Atmospheric Pressure (mb) Wind Speed (knots) Atmospheric Pressure (mb) Wind Speed (knots)
993 50 1006 40
995 60 942 120
994 60 1002 40

Required:
a. Find the y-intercept of the least-squares regression line, treating atmospheric pressure as the explanatory variable (round to four decimal places.)
b. Find the slope of the least-squares regression line, treating atmospheric pressure as the explanatory variable (round to four decimal places.)
c. Is it reasonable to interpret the y-intercept of the least-squares regression line, treating atmospheric pressure as the explanatory variable? Why or why not?

To determine the regression:

Intercept

= 131760.9563

Slope

The regression line equation

We then make a comparison of the slope of the equation to y = mx+c

slope of the equation = -1.2600

the y-intercept corresponds to when X = 0, thus:

y-intercept = 131760.9563

Yes, it is reasonable to interpret the y-intercept of the regression line, Using atmospheric pressure as an explanatory variable due to the fact that:

X is the independent variable and Y exists as the dependent variable.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
