Develop an estimated regression equation relating y to

x1.

(Round your numerical values to one decimal place.)

ŷ =

Solution

import pandas as pd import statsmodels.api as sm

Define the data

data = { "x1": [30, 47, 25, 51, 40, 51, 74, 36, 59, 76], "y": [94, 108, 112, 178, 94, 175, 170, 117, 142, 211] }

Create a DataFrame

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

Add a constant to the independent variable (for intercept)

X = sm.add_constant(df["x1"]) y = df["y"]

Fit the regression model

model = sm.OLS(y, X).fit()

Extract the regression equation coefficients

coefficients = model.params

coefficientsconst 45.059369 x1 1.943571 dtype: float64const 45.059369 x1 1.943571 dtype: float64successThe estimated regression equation relating yy to x1x_1 is:

y^=45.1+1.9x1\hat{y} = 45.1 + 1.9x_1

Do you want further details on this calculation or have any questions? Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. How is the intercept (45.145.1) interpreted in this context?
  2. What does the slope (1.91.9) indicate about the relationship between x1x_1 and yy?
  3. How can we test the significance of this regression model?
  4. Can we plot the data points and the regression line for visualization?
  5. How would adding x2x_2 to the model potentially improve its predictive power?

Tip: Always examine residuals to check the validity of a regression model.
