Assignment 11 Solutions

Question (1)
∗
a. 𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 = 25.52
∗
𝑡𝑥 = −11.45
𝑆𝑆𝑇 = 2,018.667

b. 𝑦̂ = 30.139 − 0.252𝑥
The value of 𝑦̂ when 𝑥 = 0 is 30.139
When 𝑥 increases by one unit, 𝑦̂ decreases by 0.252 units

c. 𝐻0 : 𝛽1 = 0 𝐻𝐴 : 𝛽1 ≠ 0
𝑡19,0.025 = ±2.093 𝑝 − 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = 0.000
Reject 𝐻0
∴There is a linear relationship between 𝑥 & 𝑦

𝑆𝑆𝑅
d. 𝑟 2 = 𝑆𝑆𝑇 ≈ 0.872
About 87.2% of variation of 𝑦 is explained by 𝑥

e. 𝑟 = √𝑟 2 ≈ −0.934
There is a strong negative linear relationship between 𝑥 & 𝑦

Question (2)
1. Scatter diagram:
 ∑ 𝑥𝑦−𝑛𝑥̅ 𝑦̅
2. 𝑆𝑥𝑦 = 𝑛−1 ≈ 5.125
There is a positive linear relationship between no. of years of experience (x) and monthly
salary (y)

𝑆𝑥𝑦
3. 𝑟 = 𝑆 ≈ 0.92
𝑥 𝑆𝑦
There is a strong positive linear relationship between no. of years of experience (x) and
monthly salary (y)

𝑆𝑥𝑦
4. 𝑏1 = ≈ 0.6785
𝑆𝑥2
𝑏0 = 𝑦̅ − 𝑏1 𝑥̅ ≈ 1.8889
𝑦̂ = 1.8889 + 0.6785𝑥

5. Compute the coefficient of determination. Explain what does it mean?

𝑟 2 = (0.92)2 ≈ 0.843
About 84.3% of variation of monthly salary (y) is explained by no. of years of experience
(x).

6. 𝑦̂7.5 = 1.8889 + 0.6785(7.5) ≈ 6.98
