The data given below indicate the existence of a linear relationship between the x and y variables. Suppose an analyst who prepared the solutions and carried out the RI measurements was not skilled and as a result of poor technique, allowed intermediate errors to appear. The results are the following:
Concentration of solution in percent (x) 10 26 33 50 61
Refractive indices (y) 1.497 1.493 1.485 1.478 1.477
Step 1. Carefully plot the given x and y values (from the table) on a regular graphing paper. Label then connect the points to observe a zigzag plot due to the scattered points.
Step 2: Copy and fill the table given below:
x (x - x̄) (x - x̄)
2 y (y - ȳ) (y - ȳ)
2 (x - x̄) (y - ȳ)
10 1.497
26 1.493
33 1.485
50 1.478
61 1.477
∑ = ∑ = ∑ = ∑ = ∑ = ∑ = ∑ =
x̄= ∑xi ÷ N
x̄=
ȳ = ∑yi ÷ N
ȳ =
Step 3. After completing the table, present following computations and the interpretation.
a. Calculate the
Σ (x − x ) (y − ȳ)
√(Σ(x − x )
2)(Σ(y − ȳ)
2)
o The sign or integer before the value just interprets the value as either directly or inversely proportional. Just consider the rounded-off value if it is
equal to 1 or 0.
o If the computed r > 0, it means that there is a perfect correlation between the variables. Therefore, there will be a need to continue solving for
the slope and y intercept. No further calculations will be made if r < 0 because two variables are completely independent.
o HINT: At this point, the answer is -0.97.... The negative sign means that the x and y values are inversely proportional. Only consider “0.97”, rounding
it off to the nearest whole number, it is equal to 1. Therefore, there will be a need to continue solving for the slope and y intercept.
b. The slope (aka regression coefficient) can be computed using the formula: b = Σ (x − x ) (y − ȳ)
Σ(x − x )
2
o The sign or integer confirms the relationship of the variables either directly or indirectly proportional.
c. The y intercept can be solved using the formula: ȳ = y + b (x - x̄)
o Note that you are solving for the value of y.
o Substitute the values of ȳ and x̄ from the table and the value of x as 0.
d. Complete the statement for the interpretation:
The plotted x and y values formed a
signifying a/an ______ (directly or indirectly) proportional relationship of the values.
Continue your interpretation if r < 0: Since the correlation coefficient is greater than 0, there is a need to solve for the regression coefficient and y-
intercept. The regression coefficient is solved as _____ and the y-intercept as ____.

An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength).

- Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 134 to 192 cm and weights of 40 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x = 166.94 cm, y = 81.26 kg, r= 0.352, P-value = 0.000, and y = - 101 + 1.04x. Find %3D the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 145 cm tall. Use a 0.10 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 145 cm tall is kg.
