Homework #4
1. Calculate a regression equation using the (x, y) data below (8 points). We are interested to see if a
student’s grade on Exam 1 (x) has any relationship to final average (y) for a course.
To check if you have done your work correctly, this should be your answer:
ŷ = 50.4 + 0.49 x
Of course, show all your work.

Hint: You will need to first calculate the regression equation as you did in Homework #4. You should get
b1 = – 7.67 and b0 = 179.63. For the regression coefficient below, you should get r2 = 0.7889 or 78.9%.
