Math Problem Statement

if X= 5 6 8 10 12 13 15 16 17 and Y= 32 38 45 54 70 80 82 88 96 find regression of it

Solution

To find the regression of the given data sets XX and YY, we will use the method of least squares to find the equation of the best-fit line, typically expressed as:

Y=a+bXY = a + bX

where:

  • bb is the slope of the line.
  • aa is the y-intercept.

The formulas for aa and bb are:

b=nXYXYnX2(X)2b = \frac{n\sum{XY} - \sum{X}\sum{Y}}{n\sum{X^2} - (\sum{X})^2}

a=YbXna = \frac{\sum{Y} - b\sum{X}}{n}

where:

  • nn is the number of data points.
  • X\sum{X} is the sum of all XX values.
  • Y\sum{Y} is the sum of all YY values.
  • XY\sum{XY} is the sum of the product of corresponding XX and YY values.
  • X2\sum{X^2} is the sum of the squares of XX values.

Let's calculate the values.The regression equation for the given data is:

Y=4.75+5.32XY = 4.75 + 5.32X

This means the best-fit line that describes the relationship between XX and YY can be expressed as Y=4.75+5.32XY = 4.75 + 5.32X.

Here are five related questions you might consider:

  1. How do you interpret the slope bb in the context of this data?
  2. What does the y-intercept aa represent in this regression equation?
  3. How would you calculate the correlation coefficient for this data set?
  4. How can you determine if the regression model is a good fit for the data?
  5. What are the assumptions underlying linear regression?

Tip: In regression analysis, the slope represents the change in the dependent variable (Y) for every one-unit increase in the independent variable (X).
