ISDS 3115 Homework Help Needed
Posted on 2/2/14 at 5:00 pm
Posted on 2/2/14 at 5:00 pm
trying to get as much as I can done before the game starts.
Here's the question: Find the simple linear regression equation that shows the relationship between number of patients and year is
Y= ___ + ____x
you're given:
years 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Number of patients: 36, 32, 39, 42, 42, 56, 58, 53, 57, 61
Robbery Rate: 58.0, 61.4, 73.4, 75.7, 78.5, 88.6, 101.1, 94.8, 104.1, 115.6
I know the slope equation is sum of xy-n(average of xy) divided by the sum of x^2 - n(average of x)^2
But when I plug in my numbers I always get the wrong answer.
The Help Me Solve This uses 7 for n even though there is 10 years which is weird to me. BTW, the average of xy and x is shown as a x with a bar over it. Just so you know what Im talking about. So can anyone help me out here? I need to understand how to get to the right answer.

the correct answer is y=29.867 + 3.224x
I just dont know how to get to that answer

You will never use that IRL, BTW.

It is obvious that the correct answer is 69. By the way, you are going to fail.

Your real question is whether to include robbery rate as a confounding factor.
Good luck.
Good luck.

You don't need to be taking whatever the frick this class is.

As if someone who can't solve the problem is going to get that real job.
