4. A horizontal line has no slope.
8. Regarding the variables in a regression analysis.
a. what is the independent variable called?
b. what is the dependent variable called?
In Exercise 4.7, we give linear equations. For each equation,
a. find the -intercept and slope.
b. determine whether the line slopes upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.
c. use two points to graph the equation.
given equation is,
Sample Covariance. For a set of n data points, the sample covariance, is given by
The sample covariance can be used as an alternative method for tinding the slope and y-intercept of a regression line. The formulas are
where denotes the sample standard deviation of the x-values.
a. Use Equation (4.1) to determine the sample covariance of the data points in Exercise 4,45.
b. Use Equation (4.2) and your answer from part (a) to find the regression equation. Compare your result to that found in Exercise 4.57.
