RE: Week 7 discussion
Steven,
Correct. Yes, based on the chapter we learned how regression analysis can be used to determine how a dependent variable (y) is related to an independent variable (x). In simple linear regression, the regression model is y = β0 + β1x + ϵ, which related to the simple linear regression equation and sample data along with the least squares method is used to develop the estimated simple linear regression equation y ̂ = b0 + b1x, where b0 and b1 are sample statistics used to estimate the population parameters β0 and β1.
In this discussion example, the intercept is -207.7 and the height is 5.25 so the formula
Weight= -207.7 + 5.25 Height

Week 7 Discussion- Relationship of Height and Weight
When we say that there is a relationship between two variables then it’s mean that when one is changing (increasing or decreasing), then another variable is also changing by the change of the first variable.
The relationship might be positive or negative. In positive relationships, if one variable is increasing, then other is also increasing and vice versa.
We have the equation
y=5.2536x-207.75
R^2=0.5129
Y= 5.2536x -207.75
Y= 5.2536(65)-207.75
Y = 133.734
Y= 5.2536(100) – 207.75
Y= 317.61
Since the information of the stature of the individuals is somewhere in the range of 60 and 80 so 100 inches is not in the regression. Yet, as we probably are aware of R^2=0.5129*100 = 51.29% which implies the percent of variety of y that clarifies for the lineal model. We can discover that it isn’t very exact, we generally will encounter an error.

Sounds good. The simple linear regression formula for the Height/weight data is y= 5.2536(x) – 207.75. To compute the estimated weight for a person who is 65 inches tall and a person who is 100 inches tall, you should substitute these values for x. The equations look like the following. Estimate weight for 65 inches = y(weight) = 5.2536 (65) – 207.75. The estimated weight is 133.7 lbs. Estimated weight for 100 inches = y(weight) = 5.2536 (100) – 207.75. The estimated weight is 317.7 lbs.
