Jimmy tested a sample with of n=4 pairs of X and Y scores and found SSY = 48 and a Pearson correlation between X and Y of r = 0.4
Calculate whether the Fobserved in this regression experiment is significant at the ∞ = o.01 level
A set of n = 15 pairs of X and Y values has a correlation of r = +0.80 with SSY = 75, and the regression equation for predicting Y is computed.
Find the standard error of estimate for the regression equation.
How big would the standard error be if the sample size were n = 30.
Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet.
Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, between what two values would approximately 95% of the observed responses, y, fall when x = 7?
