Question

A regression was run to determine whether there is a relationship between hours of tv watched per day(x) and number of sit-ups a person can do (y). The results of the regression are given below. Use this to predict the number of sit-ups a person who watches 11 hours of tv can do

Y=ax+b
A=-1.341
B=32.234
R=-0.896

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

Given the regression model :

Y=ax+b

x = Hours of TV watched per day

y= number of sit-ups a person can do

A=-1.341

B=32.234

Y = - 1.341x + 32.234

Predict Y, when x = 11

Y = - 1.341(11) + 32.234

Y = −14.751 + 32.234

Y = 17.483

Hence, the person Cann do approximately 17 sit-ups
