Determine the number of situps a person who watches hours of TV can do, given the linear regression - with and .
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. The regression equation is given by .
2. The slope of the regression line is .
3. The y-intercept of the regression line is .
4. The coefficient of determination is .
5. The correlation coefficient is .
6. We are given the value of (hours of TV watched per day) as 11.5 hours.
7. We want to predict the value of (number of situps) for .
STEP 2
To predict the number of situps a person can do, we will use the regression equation and plug in the given value of .
STEP 3
Substitute the given values of , , and into the regression equation.
STEP 4
Multiply the slope by the value of .
STEP 5
Calculate the product of and .
STEP 6
Add the y-intercept to the product calculated in the previous step.
STEP 7
Calculate the predicted value of .
STEP 8
Round the predicted value of to one decimal place.
The predicted number of situps a person who watches 11.5 hours of TV can do is approximately 21.5.
