Question

Consider the following set of ordered pairs. x 5 2 2 2 8 5 y 5 7 7 5 2 7 a) Calculate the slope and the y-intercept for the regression equation. b) Calculate the SST. c) Partition the SST into the SSR and the SSE. a) Calculate the slope and the y-intercept for the regression equation. The slope is b = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The intercept is a = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b) Calculate the SST. SST = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c) Partition the SST into the SSR and the SSE. SSE = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) SSR = (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

The statistical software output for this problem is:

Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: y
Independent Variable: x
y = 7.9 - 0.6 x
Sample size: 6
R (correlation coefficient) = -0.74420841
R-sq = 0.55384615
Estimate of error standard deviation: 1.4747881

Parameter estimates:


Analysis of variance table for regression model:

Hence,

a) b = -0.6

a = 7.9

b) SST = 19.5

c) SSE = 8.7

SSR = 10.8
