- What is regression models?arrow_forwardThe average gestational age (time from conception to birth) of a newborn infant is about 40 weeks. The following data presents the gestational age in weeks and corresponding mean birth weight in pounds for female infants born in Canada. Find the least-squares regression line for predicting the birth weight from the gestational age. You should be able to grab the data in the table, copy it, and paste it in Excel. You would then select the data in Excel, Insert a Scatter Chart and then under Trendline, check the two boxes at the bottom to display the equation and the R-squared.

Meteorologists in a seaside town wanted to understand how their annual rainfall is affected by the temperature of coastal waters. For the past few years, they monitored the average temperature of coastal waters (in Celsius), x, as well as the annual rainfall (in millimetres), y. Rainfall statistics • The mean of the x-values is 11.503. • The mean of the y-values is 366.637. • The sample standard deviation of the x-values is 4.900. • The sample standard deviation of the y-values is 44.387. • The correlation coefficient of the data set is 0.896. The least squares regression line of this data set is: y = 8.116x + 273.273 How much rainfall does this line predict in a year if the average temperature of coastal waters is 15 degrees Celsius?
