The following table number of absences (x) and the grade earned on the first exam (y) for a Statistics class.
x: 3, 5, 2, 6, 5, 8
y: 90, 76, 91, 54, 84, 56
The least-squares regression line is in the form y = b_0 + b_1 x. Compute the value of b_0. That is, compute the intercept. Write only a number as your answer.
X | Y | X * Y | X2 | Y2 | |
3 | 90 | 270 | 9 | 8100 | |
5 | 76 | 380 | 25 | 5776 | |
2 | 91 | 182 | 4 | 8281 | |
6 | 54 | 324 | 36 | 2916 | |
5 | 84 | 420 | 25 | 7056 | |
8 | 56 | 448 | 64 | 3136 | |
Total | 29 | 451 | 2024 | 163 | 35265 |
Equation of regression line is Ŷ = a + bX
b = -6.825 - 7
a =( Σ Y - ( b * Σ X) ) / n
a =( 451 - ( -6.8248 * 29 ) ) / 6
a = 108.153 108
Equation of regression line becomes Ŷ = 108.1533 - 6.8248
X
Intercept a = 108.153 108
