able to predict the cardiac output
from his clients' level of exercise. Simple Linear Regression Analysis y = a + bx
Independent: level of exercise Coefficient of Determination y = 0.038 + 1.001x

Dependent: cardiac output •r
2. The more time spent studying, the • ranges from 0 to1 (always +) So if the lathe machine is used for
higher the GPA is • How much the independent 4.25 hours, the estimated income is:
Independent: Time spent studying variables affect the dependent
Dependent: GPA variables y = 0.038 + 1.001 x 4.25
3. A student is absent from class • measured in percentage (0% to y = 4.29225 x 100,000 Php
most of the time. Therefore, he got a 100%) y = 429,225 Php
low score on the long test given by From r = 0.61
the teacher r2 = 0.612
Independent: number of absences r2 = 0.37
Dependent: long test score Convert to percentage (x 100)
4. The smaller the ball, the faster it r2 = 0.37 x 100
drops to the ground r2 = 37%
37% of the income per month is explained by the
Independent: size of the ball
number of hours spent on the lathe machine.
Dependent: speed of falling Furthermore, there are other factors (63%) which
5. The length of time in a company are needed to explain the income per month of
the fabrication shop
guaranties high salary
Independent: length of time in a
company Simple Linear Regression Analysis
Dependent: salary • aims to develop an equation to
Correlation Analysis predict future values of dependent
• Study of relationship between variable (y) based on independent
independent (x) and dependent (y) variables (x)
variables Regression or Prediction Line
• Measures strength (perfect, y = a + bx
strong, no relationship) and y = predicted value of dependent
direction (+ or -) of continuous variable y
