A scatter plot showed a nonlinear relationship between y and an independent variable x. The x values were re-expressed using a square-root transformation, and a scatterplot of y and x'=x (X equals square root of X) was approximately linear. The regression line summarizing the relationship between y and x ' was y=14-2x
What is the predicted value of y when x = 9? (Hint remember the re-expression that was used)
a. -4
b. 8
c. -4 (Square root of -4)
d. 8
e. We cannot determine this, due to the fact that it is impossible to take the square root of a negative number.
