Problem 6

A nutritionist predicts daily calorie intake (yy) based on hours of physical activity per week (x) using the regression equation y^=180050x \hat{y} = 1800 - 50x . The standard error of estimate is sy=150 s_y = 150 , the sample size is n=25 n = 25 , the mean hours of activity is xˉ=5 \bar{x} = 5 , and Sxx=250 S_{xx} = 250 . Construct a 90%90\% prediction interval for a person who exercises x0=8 x_0 = 8 hours per week.
