Ash381 · Answer

For statement 1: We can see that for resident tuition of 2k USD, the corresponsing values lie in the range of  4k to 6k USD.  
For statement 2: One value is less than predicted value and one is more.  Hence Both higher and lower than predicted by the regression line.

Official Explanation

Question #1

There is a cluster of colleges with resident tuition of approximately $2,000. Although the nonresident rates for some of these colleges can be as high as $8,000, most cluster between $4,000 and $6,000.

Answer: D

Question #2

There are two colleges with nonresident tuitions of approximately $12,000. One of these has a resident tuition of about $4,000. The high nonresident rate for this college is far above what the trend line would predict. The other college, with a resident tuition of about $7,500, charges nonresidents less than the trend line would predict.

Answer: D

Additional Question

Only a few colleges have resident tuitions above $4,000, so this restriction does not eliminate many schools. In fact, only the three highest nonresident tuitions are eliminated. To include all schools with resident tuitions less than $4,000, the upper limit on nonresident tuitions must be set at $10,000.

Answer: E

cheshire · Answer

The question specifically asks for "college s ," not the single highest college, which means you need to compare more than one. As the second highest college is above the regression line, the correct answer would be  above and below.

cheshire · Answer

Why would it be a typo? If the current answer works with the question as intended and is perfectly logical i'm not sure why you would assume it's a mistake?
