Part 1
a.
Find an equation for the least squares line, letting x equal the number of years since
The equation is
Yequals=enter your response herexplus+enter your response here.
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Solution
To find the equation for the least squares line, we need to determine the linear regression equation, which is in the form:
where:
- is the dependent variable (in this case, the given values for each year).
- is the independent variable (the number of years since 2000).
- is the slope of the line.
- is the y-intercept.
Step 1: Determine the variables
Let:
- (so represents the number of years since 2000)
- (the corresponding values provided for each year)
Given dataTo find the equation for the least squares line, we need to determine the linear regression equation, which is in the form:
where:
- is the dependent variable (in this case, the given values for each year).
- is the independent variable (the number of years since 2000).
- is the slope of the line.
- is the y-intercept.
Step 1: Determine the variables
Let:
- (so represents the number of years since 2000)
- (the corresponding values provided for each year)
Given
\text{Year (x)} & \quad \text{Y} \\ 0 \, (2000) & \quad 2219.5 \\ 1 \, (2001) & \quad 2303.8 \\ 2 \, (2002) & \quad 2465.0 \\ 3 \, (2003) & \quad 2517.9 \\ 4 \, (2004) & \quad 2597.1 \\ 5 \, (2005) & \quad 2648.1 \\ 6 \, (2006) & \quad 2757.0 \\ 7 \, (2007) & \quad 2926.3 \\ 8 \, (2008) & \quad 3099.2 \\ \end{align*}$$ ### Step 2: Calculate the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) We use the formulas for $$m$$ and $$b$$: $$m = \frac{n(\sum xy) - (\sum x)(\sum y)}{n(\sum x^2) - (\sum x)^2}$$ $$b = \frac{(\sum y)(\sum x^2) - (\sum x)(\sum xy)}{n(\sum x^2) - (\sum x)^2}$$ where: - $$n$$ = number of data points - $$\sum x$$ = sum of all $$x$$ values - $$\sum y$$ = sum of all $$Y$$ values - $$\sum xy$$ = sum of the product of each $$x$$ and $$Y$$ - $$\sum x^2$$ = sum of each $$x$$ squared Let's compute these values to get the least squares line equation.The equation for the least squares line, rounding the slope and y-intercept to two decimal places, is: $$Y = 101.68x + 2208.18$$ where: - $$x$$ is the number of years since 2000. - $$Y$$ is the predicted value for the corresponding year. ### Do you want more details or have any questions? ### Related Questions: 1.
