Math Problem Statement

If the line of regression of Y on X is Y = 9X + 5, then the estimated value of Y when X = 2 is 18.

Solution

The problem in the image states:

  • "If the line of regression of YY on XX is Y=9X+5Y = 9X + 5, then the estimated value of YY when X=2X = 2 is 18."

To solve this, we will substitute X=2X = 2 into the regression equation Y=9X+5Y = 9X + 5:

Y=9(2)+5=18+5=23Y = 9(2) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

Thus, the estimated value of YY when X=2X = 2 is 23, not 18. This suggests that there might be an error in the statement.

Would you like further clarification on this or any additional details?

Here are five related questions for further exploration:

  1. How is a line of regression derived from data?
  2. What is the difference between regression of YY on XX and regression of XX on YY?
  3. How would changing the slope or intercept affect the regression line?
  4. How does one calculate residuals for regression lines?
  5. What are the assumptions behind linear regression?

Tip: Always check for the accuracy of estimated values by substituting directly into the regression equation!
