Finding and Using the Regression Equation for Predicting Values
Not what you're looking for?
For the following data:
a) find the regression equation for the predicting y from x.
b) use the regression equation to find a predicted y for each x
c) find the difference between the actual y value and the predicted y value for each individual, square the differences and add the squared values to obtain ss residual.
d) calculate the Pearson Correlation for these data. Use r square and ssy to compute ss residual with equation 15.18.
