Suppose that a regression line for some data transformed with logarithmspredicts that when x equals 4, log(y) will equal 2.671. What does theregression line predict y will equal when x equals 4?

Answer :

Explanation:

The information that we have is that when the value of x is 4

[tex]x=4[/tex]

The logarithm of y is 2.671

[tex]log(y)=2.671[/tex]

The question is:

What does the regression line predict y will equal when x =4?

That means we need to solve for y in

[tex]log(y)=2.671[/tex]

To find the predicted y-value.

To solve for y, we make 10 the base of the two sides of the equation as shown in the following expression:

[tex]10^{log(y)}=10^{2.671}[/tex]

Due to the properties of logarithms, on the left side, we will be left only with 'y'

[tex]y=10^{2.671}[/tex]

And finally, solving the operations on the right-hand side, the result is:

[tex]y=468.813[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]y=468.813[/tex]
