Solution
To find the equation of the linear regression line that best fits your data on a TI-84, follow these steps:
Data Entry:
- Turn on your TI-84 and press the
STAT
button. - Enter the data into the lists:
- Press
1
for Edit. - In L1, input your x values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- In L2, input your y values: 730, 695, 716, 737, 722, 751.
- Press
Perform Linear Regression:
-
Press
STAT
again, then use the arrow keys to highlightCALC
. -
Select
4: LinReg(ax+b)
by pressing4
.Alternatively, you can type
LinReg(ax+b)
manually by pressingALPHA
,TRACE
, and then selecting theLinReg(ax+b)
function. -
Set the calculation options:
- You should see the screen asking for
LinReg(ax+b)
. - Leave the default setting (
Y1
) to store the regression line into the function, or you can pressVARS
, thenY-VARS
to store it into a different slot.
- You should see the screen asking for
-
Execute the calculation:
- Press
ENTER
.
- Press
View the Output:
After performing the linear regression, the TI-84 will display the values of a
(slope) and b
(y-intercept). The linear regression equation will be in the form:
For example, if the result shows:
Your regression equation would be:
Final Answer:
If you follow these steps, you’ll get the equation of the linear regression for the given data. You can round the numbers to two decimal places, as required.
