Question

Determine the regression equation for the data. Round the final values to three significant digits, if necessary.

x 6 8 20 28 36
y 2 4 13 20 20

Answer 1

y = 0.6487 - x

Explanation:

Given the data:

x: __ 6 __ 8 ____ 20 ___ 28 ____ 36

y: __ 2__ 4 ____ 13 ____20 ____ 20

The regression equation obtained for the data given using an online regression model calculator is :

Regression equation :

y = 0.6487 - x

With

0.6487 being the intercept

x and y are the independent and dependent variables respectively

The slope of the regression equation = 1
