Question

Use the given data to find the best predicted value of the response variable x. Ten pairs of data yield r=0.003 and the regression equation y=2+3x, and it is determined that is not a good model. Also, the mean of y values= 5.0. What is the predicted value of y for x=2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given the regression equation :

y=2+3x

Mean of y values ; y = 5.0

Where y is the predicted variable ; x = predictor variable

The predicted value of y for X = 2

Null: H0 = 5

Alternative H1 : ≠ 5

Sample size (n) = 10 pairs

Degree of freedom = n - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8
