Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG1.123 Lines of Best Fit and Linear Models skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A cafe model predicts cups sold y after x hours past opening: y = 18 + 2.75x. Which statement correctly combines prediction and interpretation?
AAfter 4 hours, the model predicts 72 cups sold, with an initial value of 2.75 cups.
BAfter 4 hours, the model predicts 29 cups sold, with an initial prediction of 18 cups at opening and an increase of 2.75 cups per hour.
CAfter 4 hours, the model predicts 29 cups sold, but the slope means 18 cups per hour.
DAfter 4 hours, the model predicts 20.75 cups sold, with an increase of 18 cups per hour.
Solution & Explanation:At x = 4, y = 18 + 2.75(4) = 29. The intercept 18 is the prediction at opening, and the slope 2.75 is the predicted hourly increase.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A regression model for data collected only from x = 5 to x = 25 is y = 3.6x - 8. Which statement about the intercept is most precise?
AThe intercept -8 means y decreases by 8 for every 1-unit increase in x.
BThe intercept -8 is the predicted y-value at x = 0, but that is an extrapolation beyond the collected data.
CThe intercept is 3.6 because 3.6 is written first.
DThe intercept proves the model is not linear.
Solution & Explanation:The intercept is always the model's prediction when x = 0. Since x = 0 is outside the observed range 5 to 25, the contextual meaning should be treated cautiously.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A nutrition survey models snack rating y from 1 to 10 using x = grams of sugar per serving. The best-fit equation is y = -1.1x + 9.4. Which interpretation is correct?
AFor each additional gram of sugar, the predicted rating decreases by about 1.1 points, with a predicted rating of 9.4 at 0 grams of sugar.
BThe negative slope means the intercept cannot be interpreted mathematically.
CFor each additional gram of sugar, the predicted rating increases by about 9.4 points.
DThe model predicts 1.1 grams of sugar at a rating of 9.4.
Solution & Explanation:The slope -1.1 is the predicted change in rating for each added gram of sugar. The intercept 9.4 is the predicted rating when x = 0 grams.
