You run a regression analysis on a bivariate set of data (
n
=
11
). With
¯
x
=
23.4
and
¯
y
=
44.6
, you obtain the regression equation
y
=

1.025
x

17.591
with a correlation coefficient of
r
=

0.471
. You want to predict what value (on average) for the response variable will be obtained from a value of 150 as the explanatory variable.

What is the predicted response value?
