Suppose that for a typical FedEx package delivery, the cost of the shipment is a function of the weight of the package measured in ounces. You want to try to predict the cost of a typical shipment given package dimensions. If 10 packages in a city are sampled and the regression output is given below, what can we conclude about the slope of weight

The answer is "Option 5"

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Throughout the above output the regression equation is:

Delivery cost

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
