Explanation / Answer

This analysis compares the number of minutes spend on social media per day vs the the number of texts sent per day of 26 students from the ST202 Winter online course. Software was used to provide the follo

wing output. Use this output to answer the proceeding questions.

a)From the plot, describe the relationship between the two variables. Include context, direction, strength, form and outliers.

We can see that from the scatter plot there is positive relationship between number of texts per day and time spent on social media.

b)What is the least squares regression equation?

From the given output the regression equation is,

y = 41.06 + 0.38*x

where intercept = 41.06

slope = 0.38
