The following data represent the Statistics grades for a random sample of 12 freshmen at a

certain college along with their scores on an intelligence test administered while they were still
seniors in high school and the number of class periods missed by the students taking the
Statistics course. The complete data are shown.

1 85 65 1
2 74 50 7
3 76 55 5
4 90 65 2
5 85 55 6
6 87 70 3
7 94 65 2
8 98 70 5
9 81 55 4
10 91 70 3
11 76 50 1
12 74 55 4

a) Estimate the simple linear regression equation to predict Final Grade from Test score.

̂ = 𝒂 + 𝒃𝒙𝟏
𝒚

b) Estimate the Final grade of a student who scored 75 in test.

c) Calculate coefficient of correlation ‘r’ and coefficient of determination ‘R2’ and comments.

d) The estimated multiple linear regression equation is defined as:

̂ = 𝟐𝟕. 𝟓𝟒𝟔𝟕 + 𝟎. 𝟗𝟐𝟏𝟕𝒙𝟏 + 𝟎. 𝟐𝟖𝟒𝟐𝒙𝟐 .

𝒚

Use this equation and calculate multiple R2 and compare with R2 of simple linear regression equation and
comments

Solution:

For Linear Regression:

Use calculator option

ModeStatsA + BX or Menu6A + BX (If you have latest version calculator)

Then input data in column x and y

Press AC (to clear screen of calculator)

Shift 1  REG or Optn.Regression calculation (If you have latest version calculator)

Now find values of a, b and r 1 by 1

a 30.043

b 0.897

r 0.862

Regression equation:

̂ = 𝒂 + 𝒃𝒙
𝒚

̂ = 𝟑𝟎. 𝟎𝟒𝟑 + 𝟎. 𝟖𝟗𝟕 𝒙

𝒚

Coefficient of correlation ’ r’ 0.862

R Square =r2 0.743 = 74.3%

n 12

Now for Finding R2 for

Multiple Linear regression

S.# y x1 x2 ̂ = 𝟐𝟕. 𝟓𝟒𝟔𝟕 + 𝟎. 𝟗𝟐𝟏𝟕𝒙𝟏 + 𝟎. 𝟐𝟖𝟒𝟐𝒙𝟐 .

𝒚 𝒆𝟐 = (𝒚 − 𝒚
