Answer:
1. The least squares regression is y = -0.1015·x + 6.51
2. The independent variable is b) age
Please see attached table
Step-by-step explanation:
The least squares regression formula is given as follows;
We have;
= 24
= 4
= -79
= 778
The least squares regression is y = -0.1015·x + α
∴ α = y -0.1015·x = 6 - (-0.1015 × 5) = 6.51
The least squares regression is thus;
y = -0.1015·x + 6.51
2. The independent variable is the age b)
3. Steps to create an ANOVA table with α = 0.05
The overall mean = (43 + 30 + 22 + 20 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 6 )/10 = 14
There are 2 different treatment =
There are 10 different treatment measurement =
The estimated effects are;
= (43 - 14)² + (30 - 14)² + (22 - 14)² + (20 - 14)² + (5 - 14)² + (1 - 14)1² + (6 - 4
)² + (3 - 14)² + (6 - 14)² = 1796
F- value is given by the relation;
We then look for the critical values at degrees of freedom 1 and 8 at α = 0.05 on the F-distribution tables 5.3177
Hence; , we reject the null hypothesis.
