10. What is the estimated increase in number of fatal accidents per 1000 licenses due to a 1% increase in the percentage of drivers under 21 (ie. the slope)? |
|
11. What is the standard deviation of the estimated slope? |
|
12. What is the estimated number of fatal accidents per 1000 licenses if there were no drivers under the age of 21 (ie. the intercept)? |
The important thing here is to decide the dependent and independent variables. Since we are interested in finding whether the number of fatal accidents is dependent on the percentage of drivers that are under 21.
So, the percentage of driver that is under 21 is the dependent variable. Now, all we have to do is plotting the data in Excel and doing the regression.
So, in excel, I have chosen x as % of driver under 21 and y as number of fatal accidents per 100 licenses and select linear regression.
I get the following output

10)
The equation is Fatal accidents/1000 licensed = -1.00839 + 0.272743 % drivers under 21
So, slope is 0.272743
11) Standard deviation of the slope is 0.032732592
12) Intercept = -1.00839
