A study of nutrition in developing countries collected data from the Egyptian village of Nahya. Here are the mean weights (in kg) for 170 infants in Nahya who were weighed each month during their first year of life: Put independent variable in column A. Put dependent variable in column B. Go to Data Analysis – to Regression Hightlight B column for y-range. Hightlight A column for x-range Click on labels (if you included them) Click on output – click space to put it If you want the normal probability plot, click on it. Try it: Computer Printout Example.xlsx
What you get! = r = n
Ignore this part of the print out for now…you’ll get it later in the spring!
The y – intercept (a) The slope (b) The x-variable
Scatter plot with regression line: (for school computers) • Highlight all of the data, including labels • Click on Insert • Click on Scatter • Click on top left graph • To get the regression line you right click on one of the points and choose trendline and click enter.
Scatter plot with regression line: (for windows 97) • Click on Chart wizard • Scatter(xy) • 1st one click Next • Highlight Data Range (do not include labels) & press next • Type in labels for x & y • Press Next & Finish • To get line – click on point & press add trendline
