Finding The Equations of The Regression Lines

Finding The Equations of The Regression Lines

\(x\)\(23\)\(51\)\(61\)\(79\)\(91\)\(103\)
\(y\)\(104\)\(92\)\(53\)\(45\)\(11\)\(1\)
  1. Find the equations of the regression lines of \(y\) on \(x\) and \(x\) on \(y\), and sketch both lines in a single scatter diagram.

Suppose the variables \(x\) and \(y\) are such that neither depends on the other.

  1. Using a suitable regression line, estimate the value of
    1. \(y\), when \(x=81\),
    2. \(x\), when \(y=27\).

Justify your choice of regression line for each of parts (ii)(a) and (ii)(b).

Answer:(i) \(y\) on \(x\): \(y=-1.38x+145\); \(x\) on \(y\): \(x=-0.676y+102\), equivalently \(y=-1.48x+152\) (ii)(a) \(y=33.1\) (ii)(b) \(x=84.2\)
