Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr Scatter Diagrams: 2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line
2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr ,[object Object],[object Object],Ŷ  = a + b X Independent Variable Dependent Variable Y X
2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr ,[object Object],[object Object],Ŷ  = a + b X
2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr Slope of the Best-Fitting Regression Line: Y  = a + b X a  =  Y  - b X
2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr the  relationship  between the age of a truck and the annual repair expense? a = 6 - 0.75*3 = 3.75 Ŷ  = 3.75 + 0.75 X If the city has a truck that is 4 years old,  the director could use the equation to predict $675 annually in repairs.  6.75   = 3.75 + 0.75 * 4 Y  = a + b X a  =  Y  - b X X=3 Y=6
Exercise Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr ,[object Object],[object Object],Count the number of values.       Find XY, X 2    See the below table N = 5 X=64  what about Y? Step 1:   Step 2:
Exercise Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr Find  Σ X,  Σ Y,  Σ XY,  Σ X 2 .              Σ X = 311 Mean = 62.2               Σ Y = 18.6 Mean = 3.72              Σ XY = 1159.7               Σ X 2  = 19359  Step 3:   Step 4:   Substitute in the above slope formula given.              Slope(b) =  =  0.19 1159.7-5*62.2*3.72 19359-5*62.2*62.2
Exercise Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr Then substitute these values in regression equation formula             Regression Equation( Ŷ ) = a + bX            Ŷ   = -8.098 + 0.19 X .              Slope(b)  =  0.19 Suppose if we want to know the approximate y value for the variable X = 64. Then we can substitute the value in the above equation. Regression Equation: Ŷ  = a + bX              = -8.098 + 0.19( 64 ).             = -8.098 + 12.16             = 4.06 Step 5:   Step 6:   Now, again substitute in the above intercept formula given.             Intercept(a) =  Y  - b X   = 3.72- 0.19 * 62.2= -8.098
2. Estimation Using  the Regression Line Chapter 12: Sim Reg & Corr Least Squares Method: Minimize the sum of the squares of the errors to measure the goodness of fit of a line e i  = residual i

Editor's Notes

  1. Correlation and Cause Just because two variables are correlated, does not mean that one of the variables is the cause of the other. It could be the case, but it does not necessarily follow: There is a strong positive correlation between the number of cigarettes that one smokes a day and one&apos;s chances of contracting lung cancer (measured as the number of cases of lung cancer per hundred people who smoke a given number of cigarettes). The percentage of heavy smokers who contract lung cancer is higher than the percentage of light smokers who develop the disease, and both figures are higher than the percentage of non-smokers who get lung cancer. In this case, the cigarettes are definitely causing the cancer. There is a strong negative correlation between the total number of skiing holidays that people book for any month of the year and the total amount of ice cream that supermarkets sell for that month. This means that the more skiing holidays that are booked, the less ice cream is sold. Is there a cause here? Are people spending so much money on ice cream that they can&apos;t afford skiing holidays? Is the fact that the ice cream is so cold putting people off skiing? Clearly not! The simple fact is that most people tend to book their skiing holidays in the winter, and they tend to buy ice cream in the summer. Although a correlation between two variables doesn&apos;t mean that one of them causes the other, it can suggest a way of finding out what the true cause might be. There may be some underlying variable that is causing both of them. For instance, if a survey found that there is a correlation between the time that people spend watching television and the amount of crime that people commit, it could be because unemployed people tend to sit around watching the television, and that unemployed people are more likely to commit crime. If that were the case, then unemployment would be the true cause!
