The Budd-Chiari syndrome is a cause of portal hypertension resulting from: 

A least squares regression equation was computed to predict the weight (lbs) of a 3 year old toddler based on the toddler’s height (in). The equation was yhat = 5.63 + 0.618x.  (The data set included toddlers between roughly 24 and 48 inches.)  Find the predicted weight of a toddler that was 29 inches tall.

In the summer of 2011, the Chicago libraries recorded the number of participants per branch of the library versus the number of books read from that branch.  They wanted to predict the number of books read at each branch based on the number of participants in the summer program.  The least squares regression equation was  books read = -657.0 +24.74 participants For one branch of the library the number of participants was 581. The number of books read was 14193.  Find the residual. 

In the Spring of 2017, a sample of 102 homes for sale in Gainesville was collected. The sale price and square footage of the homes were recorded.  The least squares regression equation was price = -58857+162.9*foot  For one house, the square footage was 1508 and the price was 184900 dollars. Find the residual. 

Suppose that you had a random number generator that randomly selected values between 0 and 1. Assume that each number is equally likely between 0 and 1 – including decimals. What is the probability that you would select a value between 0.25 and 0.65?

Which of the following is a discrete quantitative variable?  

In the summer of 2011, the Chicago libraries recorded the number of participants per branch of the library versus the number of books read from that branch.  They wanted to predict the number of books read at each branch based on the number of participants in the summer program.  The least squares regression equation was  books read = -657.0 +24.74 participants For one branch of the library the number of participants was 1001. The number of books read was 18416.  Find the residual. 

The cigarette taxes among the states have a mean of 168 cents per pack. The values go from 30 to 440 cents. Assume that the data is normally distributed. Which of the following is a plausible value for the standard deviation?
