A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of tv watched per day (x) and the number of situps a person can do (y).The results of the regression were:y=ax+ba=−1.077b=30.98r2=0.744769r=−0.863Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 13.5 hours of TV can do.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of situps is: 16.4405

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]

[tex]a =-1.077[/tex]

[tex]b=30.98[/tex]

[tex]r^2 = 0.74476[/tex]

Required

Predict y when [tex]x = 13.5[/tex]

In the result, we have:

[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]

[tex]a =-1.077[/tex]

[tex]b=30.98[/tex]

This implies that:

[tex]y = -1.077x + 30.98[/tex]

To make prediction when [tex]x = 13.5[/tex]

We have:

[tex]y = -1.077*13.5 + 30.98[/tex]

[tex]y = -14.5395 + 30.98[/tex]

[tex]y = 16.4405[/tex]
