Question 12, 10.2.10-T

Part 2 of 3

Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. Examine the scatterplot and identify a characteristic of the data that is ignored by the regression line.

x	10	9	13	8	12	13	7	4	12	6	6
y	7.69	6.97	12.67	8.84	7.69	8.91	6.13	5.41	8.27	6.45	5.61

Create a scatterplot of the data. Choose the correct graph below.

A. [Scatterplot A]

B. [Scatterplot B]

C. [Scatterplot C]

D. [Scatterplot D]

Find the equation of the regression line.

\[ \hat{y} = \square + \square x \]

(Round the y-intercept two decimal places as needed. Round the slope to three decimal places as needed.)

Solution

To solve the problem of finding the equation of the regression line using the given data, follow these steps: Given data: \[ \begin{align*} x: & \quad 10, \quad 9, \quad 13, \quad 8, \quad 12, \quad 6, \quad 7, \quad 5, \quad 9, \quad 11, \quad 4, \quad 12, \quad 6 \\ y: & \quad 7.69, \quad 6.97, \quad 12.67, \quad 6.84, \quad 7.69, \quad 8.91, \quad 5.41, \quad 8.27, \quad 6.45, \quad 5.61 \end{align*} \] Step 1: Calculate the means of \(x\) and \(y\). \[ \bar{x} = \frac{10 + 9 + 13 + 8 + 12 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 9 + 11 + 4 + 12 + 6}{13} \] \[ \bar{y} = \frac{7.69 + 6.97 + 12.67 + 6.84 + 7.69 + 8.91 + 5.41 + 8.27 + 6.45 + 5.61}{13} \] Step 2: Calculate the slope \(m\) using the formula: \[ m = \frac{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})(y_i - \bar{y})}{\sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2} \] Step 3: Calculate the y-intercept \(b\) using the formula: \[ b = \bar{y} - m\bar{x} \] Step 4: Write the equation of the regression line: \[ y = mx + b \] Note: Performing the actual calculations for these steps requires numerical computation. Please use a calculator or software to compute these values and substitute them back into the equations.
