Math Problem Statement

x y 3 90.8 4 91.2 6 82.5 8 75.8 9 62.8 17 59.1 19 60.5 Given that the linear relationship between x and y is statistically significant, find the linear regression line in the form ŷ =ax+by^=ax+b for this relationship. Round a and b to the nearest thousandth find  ŷ=________

Solution

import numpy as np import pandas as pd from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

Data provided in the question

data = { "x": [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 17, 19], "y": [90.8, 91.2, 82.5, 75.8, 62.8, 59.1, 60.5] }

Convert data to a DataFrame

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

Prepare the variables for regression

X = np.array(df['x']).reshape(-1, 1) y = np.array(df['y'])

Perform linear regression

model = LinearRegression() model.fit(X, y)

Get the coefficients

a = model.coef_[0] b = model.intercept_

Round to the nearest thousandth

a_rounded = round(a, 3) b_rounded = round(b, 3)

a_rounded, b_rounded(-2.012, 93.645)(-2.012, 93.645)successThe linear regression line for the relationship between xx and yy is:

y^=2.012x+93.645\hat{y} = -2.012x + 93.645

Related Questions:

  1. How do we interpret the slope (aa) in this regression line?
  2. What is the significance of the intercept (bb) in this context?
  3. Can this regression line be used for extrapolation beyond the given xx-values?
  4. How can we calculate the predicted yy-value for a specific xx-value, such as x=10x = 10?
  5. What is the coefficient of determination (R2R^2) for this regression, and what does it indicate?

Tip:

Always visualize your data with the regression line to ensure the model fits well!
