Worksheet 3-Regression and Correlation

a) For Questions 1 to 3 determine the regression line of y on x


Using the formulae:
𝑛(∑ 𝑥𝑦)−(∑ 𝑥)(∑ 𝑦)
𝑦 = 𝒃𝑥 + 𝒂 , 𝒃= 𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 −(∑ 𝑥)2
, and 𝒂 = 𝑦̅ − 𝒃𝑥̅ ,
b) Find also the correlation coefficient, r using the formula:

𝑛(∑ 𝑥𝑦) − (∑ 𝑥)(∑ 𝑦)


𝑟=
√[𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 − (∑ 𝑥)2 ][𝑛 ∑ 𝑦 2 − (∑ 𝑦)2 ]

X 6 3 9 15 2 14 21 13
Y 1.3 0.7 2.0 3.7 0.5 2.9 4.5 2.7

4. The relationship between voltages applied to an electrical circuit and the current
flowing is shown:
Current(mA) 2 4 6 8 10 12 14
Voltage(V) 5 11 15 19 24 28 33
Assuming a linear relationship, determine the equation of the regression line of voltage,
y of x correct to 4 significant figures.
Plot the scatter diagram and draw the regression line.
a) Determine (i) the voltage when the current is 3mA
(ii) the current when the voltage is 40V, assuming the regression line is valid
outside the data range.
b) Calculate the correlation coefficient.

5. In an experiment to determine the relationship between force and momentum, a force,


x, is applied to a mass, by placing the mass on an inclined plane. The force x is
measured at different times y. The results are as follows:

Force(N) 11.4 18.7 11.7 12.3 14.7 18.8 19.6


Time(T) 0.56 0.35 0.55 0.52 0.43 0.34 0.31

a) Determine the equation of the regression line of time on force, assuming a linear
relationship between the quantities, correct to 3 significant figures.
b) Calculate the correlation coefficient.
