Answer: ŷ = 0.07X + 5.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Number of citations 5 - 7.5 - 10 - 15 - 20
Outputs Residuals 3 - - 6 - - 10 - 5 - - 6
Using the online regression calculator :
Line of best fit is represented by the equation:
ŷ = 0.06897X + 5.2069
ŷ = 0.07X + 5.2
From the line equation:
y = mx + c
With 0.07 = slope of gradient(m)
Intercept (c) = 5.2 (point where the line of best fit intersect the y_axis
x and y are values of x and y respectively
