Question
An economist is studying the job market in Denver area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, and let y represent the number of entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six Denver neighborhoods gave the following information (units in hundreds of jobs).
x 13 32 52 28 50 25
y 1 2 7 5 9 3

 

Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 200, Σy = 27, Σx2 = 7806, Σy2 = 169, Σxy = 1106, and r ≈ 0.8855.

 

(a) Draw a scatter diagram displaying the data.

 

Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to four decimal places.)

Σx=

Σy=

Σx2=

Σy2=

Σxy=

r=

Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the least-squares line ŷ = a + bx. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

 

x=

y=

ŷ=            +          x

 

Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point (x, y) as a point on the line.

 

(e)
Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to four decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to two decimal place.)
r2=
 
explained %
 
unexplained %
 
 
(f) For a neighborhood with x = 43 hundred jobs, how many are predicted to be entry level jobs? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
 =                     hundred jobs
