(Steps Shown) The equation used to predict sunflower yield (in pounds) is y#770;=1257-1.34x_1+1.41x_2 where x_1 is the number of acres planted (in thousands)
Question: The equation used to predict sunflower yield (in pounds) is
\[\hat{y}=1257-1.34{{x}_{1}}+1.41{{x}_{2}}\]where \({{x}_{1}}\) is the number of acres planted (in thousands) and \({{x}_{2}}\) is the number of acres harvested (in thousands). Use the regression equation to predict the y-values for the given values of the independent variable listed below. Then determine which variable has a greater influence on the value of \(y\)
- \({{x}_{1}}=2103,\text{ }{{x}_{2}}=2037\) (b) \({{x}_{1}}=3387,\text{ }{{x}_{2}}=3009\)
(c) \({{x}_{1}}=2185,\text{ }{{x}_{2}}=1980\) (d) \({{x}_{1}}=3485,\text{ }{{x}_{2}}=3404\)
