Question

(Simple Linear Regression) Thirty (n 30) College graduates who have recently entered the job market. For each student, the CGPA (cumulative grade-point average X) and SAL (Starting Annual Salary in thousands dollars Y) were recorded, as shown in the following table.

Explanation / Answer

Solution

Sxx = [1,n](xi2/n) – (Xbar)2 = (247.515/30) – (2.8383)2 = 0.19455

Syy = [1,n](yi2/n) – (Ybar)2 = (3573.136/30) – (10.7407)2 = 3.7419

Sxy = [1,n](xi.yi/n) – (Xbar x Ybar) = (935.738/30) – (2.8383 x 10.7407) = 0.70594

Regression equation: y = + x

Least squares estimates of and : b = Sxy/Sxx = 3.629 and a = Ybar – b.Xbar = 0.442.

Thus the estimated value of y = ycap = 0.442 + 3.629x.

For the first student, x = 2.58 and so the estimated value of y for this student

= 0.442 + (3.629 x 2.58) = 9.803. ANSWER 1

Actual value of y for the first student is 10.455.

Hence residual = 10.455 – 9.803 = 0.652 ANSWER 2
