Question

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y). The results of the regression were: y=ax+b a=-1.23 b=22.738 r2=0.748225 r=-0.865 Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 3 hours of TV can do (to one decimal place)

Answer 1

Answer:

19 situps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regression equation to find a  a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y) was done.

The result was

y = ax+b

$y = -1.23x+22.738$

Correlation coefficient = 0.865

To predict the number of situps a person who watches 3 hours of TV

y = -1.23(3)+22.738

= 19.048

Approximately 19 situps.
