10-3 Regression College Prep Stats
Regression Definitions • Regression Equation • Given a collection of paired data, the regression equation: algebraically describes the relationship between the two variables. • Regression Line (or line of least-squares) • The graph of the regression equation
The Regression Equation x is the independent variable (predictor variable) ^ y is the dependent variable (response variable) ^ b0 = y - intercept y = b0 +b1x b1 = slope y = mx +b
Notation for Regression Equation Population Parameter Sample Statistic y-intercept of regression equation 0b0 Slope of regression equation 1b1 Equation of the regression line y = 0 + 1xy = b0 + b1
Assumptions 1. We are investigating only linearrelationships. 2. For each x value, y is a random variable having a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. All of these y distributions have the same variance. Also, for a given value of x, the distribution of y-values has a mean that lies on the regression line. (Results are not seriously affected if departures from normal distributions and equal variances are not too extreme.)
Formula for b0 and b1 (y) (x2) - (x) (xy) b0= (y-intercept) n(x2) - (x)2 n(xy) - (x) (y) b1 =(slope) n(x2) - (x)2

Predictions In predicting a value of y based on some given value of x ... 1. If there is not a significant linear correlation, the best predicted y-value is . Use r from last section to determine correlation! 2. If there is a significant linear correlation, the best predicted y-value is found by substituting the x-value into the regression equation.
Examples • Predict the tip on a bill of $75 • Predict the size of a family that discards 0.5 pounds of plastic per week • Predict the IQ of a 7 foot tall male.
