Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The values are $S S T = 48262.1; S S R = 48018.51; S S E = 243.59$

(b) The coefiicient of variation is $0.995$ .

(d) The regression line appears to be extremely useful.

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information.

A table of values.

Part (a) Step 2. Construct the table.

Construct the table.

Part (a) Step 3. Compute SST, SSR, SSE.

Find SST, SSR, SSE.

$S S T = \sum_{} y_{i}^{2} - \frac{{(\sum_{} y_{i})}^{2}}{n} = 302027 - \frac{{(1593)}^{2}}{9} = 48262.1$

$S S R = \frac{[\sum_{} x_{i} y_{i} - {(\frac{\sum_{} x_{i} \sum_{} y_{i}}{n})}^{2}}{\sum_{} {x_{i}}^{2} - \frac{{(\sum_{} x_{i})}^{2}}{n}} = \frac{{[32476 - \frac{(178) (1593)}{10}]}^{2}}{3522 - \frac{{(178)}^{2}}{10}} = 48018.51$

$S S E = S S T - S S R = 48262.1 - 48018.51 = 243.59$

Part (b) Step 1. FInd the coefficient of determination.

$r^{2} = \frac{S S R}{S S T} = \frac{48018.51}{48262.1} = 0.995$

Part (c) Step 1. Find the percentage of variation.

Since the coefficient of variation is 0.995,then 99.5% of the variation in the observed value is explained by the regression.

Part (d) Step 1. Useful for making predictions.

The regression line appears to be extremely useful.
