Question: I need exel file for calculations Here is the data set: SYSTOLIC BP WEIGHT 132 173 143 184 153 194 162 211 154 196 168
I need exel file for calculations
Here is the data set:
SYSTOLIC BP WEIGHT
132 173
143 184
153 194
162 211
154 196
168 220
137 188
149 188
159 207
128 167
166 217
1. The independent variable would be the X which is the systolic blood pressure. The dependent variable would be the Y which is the weight. 2. Without drawing a scatterplot, I would expect to see a positive correlation. With positive correlations, as X increases, Y also increases. This seems to be happening with this data.
3. I would also expect to have a strong correlation. Because the values all seem fairly near each other. I created a scatter plot, and most points do stay pretty near, if not on the linear treadline. 4. My r = 0.97, I found this by using the correl function in Excel. This confirms I have a very strong correlation because the r is extremely close to the value of 1. 5. I used my knowledge from the Knewton lesson to populate the equation using Excel. The equation of the regression line is: y = 1.2332x + 9.9031 6. Using the equation, I can predict that if a person has a normal systolic blood pressure of 120, they probably weigh around 148 pounds.
