An economist is studying the job market in Denver area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given neighborhood, and let y represent the number of entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six Denver neighborhoods gave the following information (units in hundreds of jobs). x 13 32 51 28 50 25 y 3 2 7 5 9 3 Complete parts (a) through (e), given Σx = 199, Σy = 29, Σx2 = 7703, Σy2 = 177, Σxy = 1125, and r ≈ 0.810.
(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination r2. What percentage of the variation in y can be explained by the corresponding variation in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is unexplained? (Round your answer for r2 to three decimal places. Round your answers for the percentages to one decimal place.)
r2 = | |
explained = | % |
unexplained = | % |
(f) For a neighborhood with x = 37 hundred jobs, how
many are predicted to be entry level jobs? (Round your answer to
two decimal places.)
hundred jobs
write it clear please!!!
given Σx = 199, Σy = 29, Σx2 = 7703, Σy2 = 177, Σxy = 1125, and r ≈ 0.810.
We need to find R2
Which can simply be obtained using r^2
R2 = 0.81^2
R2 = 0.656
explained = R2*100%
explained = 65.6%
unexplained = 100 - explained
unexplained = 100 - 65.6
unexplained = 34.4%
Therefore, based on the above calculations, the regression coefficients (the slope m, and the y-intercept n) are obtained as follows:
Therefore, we find that the regression equation is:
Y = -0.0737 + 0.148 X
x = 37 hundred jobs
Y = -0.0737 + 0.148*37
Y = -0.0737 + 5.476
Y = 5.4023
Y = 5.40
