d) Calculate the least squares line. Put the equation in the form of: ŷ = a + bx. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
ŷ =____+____x
e) Find the correlation coefficient r. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
r = ______
f) Find the estimated gold medal time for 1924. (Use your equation from part (d). Round your answer to two decimal places.)
_____ sec
Find the estimated gold medal time for 1992. (Use your equation
from part (d). Round your answer to two decimal places.)
_____ sec
i) Use the least squares line to estimate the gold medal time for the 2012 Summer Olympics. (Use your equation from part (d). Round your answer to two decimal places.)
_____ sec
d) from above y^ =603.430+(-0.276)*x
e)
correlation coefficient r= | Sxy/(√Sxx*Syy) = | -0.9512 |
f)
for x=1924
predicted value=603.43+1924*-0.276= | 72.41 |
for x =1992
predicted value=603.43+1992*-0.276= | 53.64 |
i)
for x =2012:
predicted val=603.43+2012*-0.276= | 48.12 |
