11-3 Example

Test the significance of the correlation

coefficient for the age and bloodpressure data. Use = 0.05 andr= 0.897.

Step 1:State the hypotheses.

H0: = 0 H1: 0

11-20

Step 2:Find the critical values. Since

= 0.05 and there are 6

2 = 4 degreesof freedom, the critical values are

t= +2.776 and t= 2.776.

Step 3: Compute the test value.

t= 4.059 (verify).

11-21

Step 4:Make the decision. Reject the

null hypothesis, since the test valuefalls in the critical region (4.059 > 2.776).

Step 5: Summarize the results. There is

a significant relationship between the

variables of age and blood pressure.

11-3 Example


22/32


11-22

The scatter plot for the age and blood

pressure data displays a linear pattern. We can model this relationship with a

straight line.

This regression line is called the line of

best fit or the regression line.

The equation of the line is y = a+ bx.

Find the equation of the regression line

for the age and the blood pressure data. Substituting into the formulas give

a= 81.048 and b= 0.964 (verify).

Hence, y = 81.048 + 0.964x.

11-2611-4 Using the Regression Line to

Predict

The regression line can be used to

predict a value for the dependentvariable (y) for a given value of the

independent variable (x).

Caution: Use xvalues within theexperimental region when

predicting yvalues.

11-2811-5 Coefficient of Determination

and Standard Error of Estimate

The coefficient of determination,

denoted by r2, is a measure ofthe variation of the dependent

variable that is explained by the

regression line and theindependent variable.


29/32




r2is the square of the correlation

coefficient. The coefficient of

nondeterminationis (1 r2).

Example:If r= 0.90, then

r2= 0.81.


30/32




The standard error of estimate,

denoted by sest, is the standarddeviation of the observed yvalues about the predicted y

values. The formula is given on the next

slide.

From the regression equation,

y = 55.57 + 8.13xand n= 6, find sest. Here, a= 55.57, b= 8.13, and n= 6.

Substituting into the formula gives

sest= 6.48 (verify).
