STATISTICAL TREATMENT

Linear Regression

 
Where,
Y is the dependent variable
( amount of sound intensity )
X is the independent variable
( percentage of banana pseudo-
stem fibres )
m is the slope of the line
b is the y- intercept
STATISTICAL TREATMENT

 Slope Of The Regression Line

Where,
m is the slope of the line
Sy is the standard deviation of Y
Sx is the standard deviation of X
r is the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient
STATISTICAL TREATMENT

 Y-intercept Of Regression Line

Where,
b is the y-intercept of the regression line
is the mean of Y
is the mean of X
m is the slope of the line
STATISTICAL TREATMENT

 Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient

It is a measure of the linear correlation between

two variables X and Y.
 
STATISTICAL TREATMENT

 Standard Deviation of Y and X

It is a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of

deviation for a group as a whole.
