Lesson 5
Lesson 5
Objectives must be met over the week and connected to the curriculum standards. To meet the objectives, necessary
procedures must be followed and if needed, additional lessons, exercises and remedial activities may be done for
developing content knowledge and competencies. These are assessed using Formative Assessment Strategies.
I. OBJECTIVES Valuing objectives support the learning of content and competencies and enable children to find significance and joy
in learning the lessons. Weekly objectives shall be derived from the curriculum guides.
Content Standards The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of correlation and
regression analyses.
Performance The learner is able to perform correlation and regression analyses on real-life problems in
Standards different disciplines.
Learning Objectives:

With this, we can clearly see that this equation have the slope = 1 and y-intercept =
6.
From the activity above, determine the trend of the slope (m)
Therefore, the slope is 1 and the y intercept is 6 (trend is increasing)

examples/ instances
of the new lesson
1. A study was done to investigate the relationship between the age in
years of a young person x and the time y in minutes at which the child
can run one mile. Data from children between the ages of 8 and 15
was collected. The equation of the regression line was found to be
y = 17 - 0.5x
Solution: The slope is -0.5. What this mean is that for every increase
of 1 in x there is a decrease of 0.5 in y. In the context of the question, we can
say that on average, as a child ages one year their time to run a mile goes
down by 30 seconds (half a minute).
The y-intercept is 17, which means that when x is 0, y is 17. For this question,
the y-intercept is not relevant, since 0 year old children cannot run one mile.
y = 5 + 4.2x
Solution: The slope is 4.2. This means that for every additional tree,
you can expect an average of 4.2 additional birds per acre. The y-intercept 5
has meaning in this case. We can say that the average number of birds per
acre in an area with no trees is 5.
The class will be divided into four groups and answer the given problem.

#1
Task: Now, Mr. Lito is better informed on the number of cones he needs based on
the temperature, he needs some help determining which cone company to use for
supplies. Help Mr. Lito generate a least squares regression equation for its data and
interpret the information given in the equation. Decide which company is better
based on the interpretation.

The teacher summarizes the ff.:
A regression line is simply a single line that best fits the data (in terms of having the
smallest overall distance from the line to the points). Statisticians call this technique
for finding the best-fitting line a simple linear regression analysis using the least

squares method.
generalizations and
abstractions about
the lesson The easiest way to understand and interpret slope and intercept in linear models is
to first understand the slope-intercept formula: y = mx + b. M is the slope or the
consistent change between x and y, and b is the y-intercept. Often, the y-intercept
represents the starting point of the equation.
The students will answer by pair.
1. Reinforced concrete buildings have steel frames. One of the main factors affecting
the durability of these buildings is carbonation of the concrete (caused by a chemical
reaction that changes the pH of the concrete) which then corrodes the steel
reinforcing the building. Data is collected on specimens of the core taken from such
buildings, where the depth of the carbonation, in mm, called d, and the strength of
the concrete, in Mpa, called s, are measured. It is found that the model is s d = −⋅
24.5 2.8
ANSWER:
Interpretation of the slope: If the depth of the carbonation increases by 1 mm, then
the model predicts that the strength of the concrete will decrease by approximately
2.8 Mpa.
Interpretation of the intercept: If the depth of the carbonation is 0, then the model
Evaluating Learning predicts that the strength of the concrete is approximately 24.5 Mpa.
2. When cigarettes are burned, one by-product in the smoke is carbon monoxide.
Data is collected to determine whether the carbon monoxide emission can be
predicted by the nicotine level of the cigarette. It is determined that the relationship
is approximately linear when we predict carbon monoxide, C, from the nicotine
level, N. Both variables are measured in milligrams. The formula for the model is C N
=+ ⋅ 3.0 10.3
ANSWER:
Interpret the slope: If the amount of nicotine goes up by 1 mg, then we predict the
amount of carbon monoxide in the smoke will increase by 10.3 mg.
Interpret the intercept: If the amount of nicotine is zero, then we predict that the
amount of carbon monoxide in the smoke will be about 3.0 mg

V. REMARKS
Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’ progress. What works? What
else needs to be done to help the pupils/students learn? Identify what help your instructional supervisors can provide
VI. REFLECTION for you so when you meet them, you can ask them relevant questions.
