Question
Here's a fitted line plot with per capita carbon dioxide emission (in metric tons) as the response and per capita gross domestic product (in thousands of dollars) as the predictor for 39 countries. Which of the following conclusions could you draw based on the plot? For every thousand-dollar increase in per capita GDP.per capita CO_2 emissions are predicted to increase by 1.2638 metric tons. For every thousand-dollar increase in per capita GDP.per capita CO_2 emissions are predicted to increase by 0.3465 metric tons. For every thousand-dollar increase in per capita GDP.per capita CO_2 emissions are predicted to decrease by 0.3465 metric tons. For every thousand-dollar increase in per capita GDP.per capita CO_2 emissions are predicted to increase by 61.73%.Explanation / Answer
Option (B) is correct, for every thousand dollar increase in per capita GDP, CO2 emmisions are supposed to increase by 0.3465, which is slope term in the prediction equation given above the graph.
