ACTIVITY GUIDELINES
DIRECTIONS:
● To verify the knowledge you gained in this lesson, predict the value of y
(dependent variable) from the given value of x (independent variable).
1. Put your name and section (No name = zero)
2. Strictly print the LA17 page 2 in a short bond paper.
3. Apply the three (3) steps in solving the regression equation.
4. Round off your final answer into two decimal places (if necessary) and BOX
it.
5. Use BLACK pen only and avoid erasures.
6. Take a picture of your work and upload it in the GFA Geenius App
in png or jpeg format.
● Strictly 1 photo of output only
● Blurred photo is equal to zero
● Landscaped or upside down photo -2

SECTION:
1. A student’s grade in the first grading period (x)
and grade in the second grading period (y) is
described by the equation ŷ = 0.5x + 45. If Jake
gets a grade of 90 in the first grading, what grade
can he expect in the second grading

DATE:
2. A counselor has collected data on the number of
times per year a SHS student goes out on a date (x)
and the number of hours a student does his/her
homework per week (y). She came up with the
equation of the regression line: y = 30 − 0.2x. What
is the average number of hours a student gets
his/her homework done per week if s/he goes out
on 50 dates in a year?

CONCLUSION: CONCLUSION:

Therefore we can predict a value of _______ if x is Therefore we can predict a value of _______ if x is
equal to ______. equal to ______.

3. The relationship between the number of a
student’s absences (x) to his/her general average
(y) is ŷ = 97 − 2x. If a student has 5 absences, what
is his predicted general average?
4. When smoking cigarettes, one by-product is
carbon monoxide. Data are collected to determine
if the carbon monoxide emission can be predicted
by the nicotine level of the cigarette. Variables are
measured in milligrams. The regression equation is
y = 3 + 10.3x. If the amount of nicotine in a
cigarette is 4 milligrams, how much carbon
monoxide in milligrams will be emitted?
