Agricultural research suggests that the final corn yield in bushels per acre (y) is linearly related to the number of inches between rows (x). Suppose the true regression line is y = 197.5 - 6.1x.
a. Find the expected yield when there are 15 inches between rows.
b. How much change in yield is expected if the distance between rows decreases by 2 inches?
c. Suppose σ = 3.2 bushels per acre. Find the probability that an observed value of yield is between 90 and 95 bushels per acre when rows are 17 inches apart.
