Problem: Researchers would like to determine if the height and weight of elders can predict their
glucose and cholesterol levels. They gather this information from 20 elders and the data are as
follows.

3. Which of the independent factors has a significant effect on the cholesterol level of the
elders?
4. What is the linear regression equation in predicting the glucose level?
5. What is the linear regression equation in predicting the cholesterol level?
6. Please explain in 1-2 sentences the predicting capability of the predictors to the glucose
and cholesterol levels.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. What is the degree of relationship of the height, weight, glucose, and cholesterol levels of the
elders?

One variable affects the value of the other variables inversely – this means that the value
of one factor increases while the remaining factors decrease – in the degree of relationship
between height, weight, glucose, and cholesterol levels of the elders; this indicates that there
is a negative correlation which is -0.717. At the same time, the relationship becomes weaker as
the coefficient value of the correlation goes toward zero.

2. Which of the independent variables can significantly predict the glucose level of the elders?

Weight, height as well as glucose are the independent factors that have a significant
effect as these are used to predict the response of the dependent variable which is the glucose
levels of the elders.

3. Which of the independent factors has a significant effect on the cholesterol level of the elders?

Weight, height as well as cholesterol are the independent factors that have a significant
effect as these are used to predict the response of the dependent variable which is the
cholesterol levels of the elders.

6. Please explain in 1-2 sentences the predicting capability of the predictors to the glucose and
cholesterol levels.

It can be seen that the weight variable seems to be significant (p<0.05) at a 5%

significance level in predicting the glucose levels of the elders, according to the regression
analysis conducted on glucose.

On the other hand, none of the factors seems to be significant (p<0.05) at a 5%

significance level in predicting the cholesterol levels of the elders, based on the regression
analysis conducted on cholesterol.
