∑XY∑XY (sum of the product of time spent studying and test scores)

∑X2∑X2 (sum of squares of time spent studying)

Solution

It looks like you're working with some summations commonly used in linear regression analysis. Let's break down and explain each summation term in detail:

  1. ∑X (sum of time spent studying)
    This represents the total amount of time spent studying for all the data points you're analyzing. If you have multiple observations X1,X2,,XnX_1, X_2, \dots, X_n representing the time spent studying for each session or individual, then: X=X1+X2++Xn\sum X = X_1 + X_2 + \dots + X_n

  2. ∑Y (sum of test scores)
    This is the total of all the test scores corresponding to the data points. If the test scores are Y1,Y2,,YnY_1, Y_2, \dots, Y_n, then: Y=Y1+Y2++Yn\sum Y = Y_1 + Y_2 + \dots + Y_n

  3. ∑XY (sum of the product of time spent studying and test scores)
    This is the sum of the product of corresponding values from the two sets of data, i.e., time spent studying and the test score for that same observation. If you have corresponding values X1,Y1X_1, Y_1, X2,Y2X_2, Y_2, ..., Xn,YnX_n, Y_n, then: XY=(X1×Y1)+(X2×Y2)++(Xn×Yn)\sum XY = (X_1 \times Y_1) + (X_2 \times Y_2) + \dots + (X_n \times Y_n)

  4. ∑X² (sum of squares of time spent studying)
    This is the sum of the squares of the time spent studying for all data points. If the time spent studying for each observation is X1,X2,,XnX_1, X_2, \dots, X_n, then: X2=X12+X22++Xn2\sum X^2 = X_1^2 + X_2^2 + \dots + X_n^2

All Solutions

To calculate these summations, you would need specific values for X1,X2,,XnX_1, X_2, \dots, X_n (time spent studying) and Y1,Y2,,YnY_1, Y_2, \dots, Y_n (test scores). Once you have those, you can:

  1. Add up all the XX-values to get ∑X.
  2. Add up all the YY-values to get ∑Y.
  3. Multiply each XX-value by its corresponding YY-value, then sum all these products to get ∑XY.
  4. Square each XX-value and sum the squares to get ∑X².

Would you like to provide specific values to calculate these summations, or do you have any further questions?

Tip: When calculating these summations, ensure that all data is accurately paired and corresponds to the correct observation in both sets (e.g., time and score).
