Is there a relation between the age difference between husband/wives and the percent of a country that is literate? Researchers found the least-squares regression between age difference (husband age minus wife age), y, and literacy rate (percent of the population that is literate), x, is y=-0.0578x + 6.6. The model applied for 20≤x≤ 100. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (c) Predict the age difference between husband/wife in a country where the literacy rate is 25 percent. 5.2 years (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (d) Would it make sense to use this model to predict the age difference between husband/wife in a country where the literacy rate is 11%? A. No-it does not make sense because a y-value of 11 is outside the scope of the model. B. No-it does not make sense because an x-value of 11 is outside the scope of the model. C. Yes-it makes sense because a y-value of 11 is within the realm of possibilities and within the scope of the model. D. Yes it makes sense because an x-value of 11 is within the realm of possibilities and within the scope of the model.
