A manufacturing company is interested in predicting the number of defects that will be produced each hour on the assembly line.The managers believe that there is a relationship between the defect rate and the production rate per hour.The managers believe that they can use production rate to predict the number of defects.The following data were collected for 10 randomly selected hours. Given these sample data,the simple linear regression model for predicting the number of defects is approximately = 5.67 + 0.048x.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given statement states that the managers believe that they can use production rate to predict the number of defects and the data collected for 10 randomly selected hours supports this claim by providing a simple linear regression model for predicting the number of defects as 11 = 5.67 + 0.048x. Therefore, the answer is A) True.
