You know that there is a strong correlation between the consumption of ice cream and body weight. The Pearson's r = 0.78. You al

so know that the average consumption of ice cream per week is five grams with a standard deviation of 1.5 grams. The average weight is 65 kg with a standard deviation of 15 kg. What is the formula of the regression line?

Answer:

y = 7.8x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Pearson's r = 0.78

Average consumption of ice cream = 5 grams per week (m) with Standard deviation (sd) = 1.5 grams

Average weight = 65 kg with standard deviation of 15kg

Formular for the regression line :

General regression formula :

y = mx + c

y = predicted variable ; m = slope or gradient ; x = predictor variable ; c = intercept

Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x

m = (sd y / sd x) * r

m = (sd weight / sd ice cream) × r

m = (15 / 1.5) × r

m = 10 × 0.78 = 7.8

Intercept:

mean of weight(y) - [Slope×mean of icecream(x)]

65 - [7.8 × 5]

65 - 39 = 26

Hence,

y = 7.8x + 26

Parallel to y - 2x = 4 and passes through (0,5)
wolverine [178]

Answer:

y=2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+4 means that the slope is m1=2

A parallel line shall have the same slope so

m2=m1=2

Therefore, the equation of the new line will be

y=2x+q

where q is the y-intercept, that is 5 because the line must pass in (0,5), so

q=5

and

y=2x+5
