Number 1 Say that you want to use simple linear
regression to model the relationship between the explanatory
variable x= the number of alcoholic drinks consumed per week, and
the response variable y= number of hours of exercise per week. You
collect data on n=52 people, and find the regression line
ŷ=10-0.3x.
- (2 pts) What is the theoretical model underlying your
regression analysis?
- (4 pts) Say that Lorenzo has six alcoholic drinks a week.
Predict how many hours he will exercise a week. (Only do a
pointwise prediction; there’s no need to find a margin of
error.)
- (3 pts) In fact, you learn that Lorenzo exercises twelve hours
a week. What is the residual of this observation?
- (3 pts) Interpret the slope of the regression line.
- (3 pts) Say that you learn that the standard error for ?1 is
???1=0.4. Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope.
