The following data show the brand, price , and the overall score for stereo headphones that were tested by Consumer Reports. The overall score is based on sound quality and effectiveness of ambient noise reduction. Scores range from (lowest) to (highest). The estimated regression equation for these data is ^y=23.638+0.314x, where x=price and y=score
Brand | Price | Score |
Bose | 180 | 75 |
Scullcandy | 150 | 72 |
Koss | 85 | 61 |
Phillips/O'Neill | 70 | 56 |
Denon | 70 | 40 |
JVC | 45 | 26 |

a. Compute SST,SSR ,SSE
Answer:
SST | 1792 |
SSR | 1372.088 |
SSE | 419.912 |
b. Compute the coefficient of determination r^2.
Comment on the goodness of fit.
Answer: . Therefore, 76.6% of the variation in the score is explained by the price.
c. What is the value of the sample correlation coefficient?
Answer: The value of the sample correlation coefficient is:
