Question

Linear relationship between x and y

Nonlinear relationship between x and y

Normally distributed y's for each x

Non-normally distributed y's for each x

Standard deviations of the y's are constant for each x

Standard deviations of the y's are not constant for each x


(b) Given that the assumptions are satisfied, what is the p-value to test for a significant negative linear relationship between years and ice breakup date?

-1.6640

0.0000   

0.1097

0.0549

0.9451


(c) Assuming that there is a significant linear relationship between year and breakup date, what is the mean breakup date predicted by the estimated regression line for the year 1935? (Plug 35 into the equation)

-134.386 -0.266(35) = -143.696

134.386 + 0.266(35) = 143.696  

  134.386 -0.266(35) = 125.076

0.266 + 134.386(35) = 4703.776

-0.266 + 134.386(35) = 4703.244


(d) The actual breakup date for 1935 was 135.5642. What is the residual for this point?

-10.49

-5.24

   0.00

10.49

20.98


(e) The R2 for this simple linear regression was 10.75%. Interpret what this value means.

10.75% represents the strength of the linear relationship between breakup date and year.

10.75% of all breakup dates lie exactly on the least-squares estimated line.  

  10.75% of the breakup dates can be explained by the year.

The percent of the variability in the year that can be explained by the linear relationship with breakup date is 10.75%.

The percent of the variability in the breakup date that can be explained by the linear relationship with year is 10.75%.

Explanation / Answer

a) Linear relationship between x and y

Normally distributed y's for each x

Standard deviations of the y's are constant for each x

b)

as it is one tailed test p vlaue =0.0549

c)

134.386 -0.266(35)=125.076

d) residual =actual -predicted =135.5642-125.076 =10.49

e)

The percent of the variability in the breakup date that can be explained by the linear relationship with year is 10.75%.
