11 A least squares regression line is the line for which
A as many data points lie on the line as possible.
B the sum of the squares of the vertical distances from the line to
each data point is a minimum.
C the sum of the squares of the horizontal distances from the line to
each data point is a minimum.
D the sum of the squares of the shortest distances from the line to
each point is a minimum.
E the data set is divided so that as many points are above the line as
below the line.

birth rate (per 100 000)
The line shown on the graph is the least squares regression line. The
equation of this line is
average number of children = -0.48 + 0.146 x birth rate.
12 Using this equation, we predict that, for a country with a birth rate of
60 (per 100 000), the average number of children (per family) will be

The following information relates to Questions 14 and 15
In an attempt to predict average monthly temperature from latitude, the
following data was collected m the month of July from seven different
weather stations
Average temperature

49 39 4
177 29 6
27 2 18 0

When plotted on a scatterplot, the data showed that there was a strong
linear association between average monthly temperature and latitude
14 The least squares equation that would enable average temperature to ^ VCAA 2001 FM Exam 1
be predicted from latitude for this data is closest to Core Q7
A average temperature = 43 0 - 0 88 x latitude Examiner says
B average temperature = 0 88 - 43 0 x latitude [^30% answered correctly
C average temperature = 47 4 - 1 02 x latitude
D average temperature = 1 02 - 47 6 x latitude
E average temperature = 43 0 + 0 88 x latitude
