Question

Which of the following equations best represents the regression line for the data given in the

Answer 1

The regression equation for the data given is y= -8.57 -2.31x

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to form a table as shown below;

x           y          xy         x²         y²

1            4           4          1          16

2            1            2          4         1

3            5          15         9         25

4             10         40        16       100

5             16         80        25      256

6              19        114       36        361

7               15       105       49       225

28             60       360      140     984  ------sum

A linear regression equation is in the form of y=A+Bx

where ;

x=independent variable

y=dependent variable

n=sample size/number of data points

A and B are constants that describe the y-intercept and the slope of the line

Calculating the constants;

A=(∑y)(∑x²) - (∑x)(∑xy) / n(∑x²) - (∑x)²

A=(60)(140) - (28)(360)  / 7(140)-(28)²

A=8400 - 10080 /980-784

A= -1680/196

A= - 8.57

B= n(∑xy) - (∑x) (∑y) / n(∑x²) - (∑x)²

B= 7(360)-(28)(60) / 7(60) - (28)²

B=2520 - 1680 /420-784

B=840/-364

B= -2.31

y=A+Bx

y= -8.57 -2.31x
