Problem 9 examined the relationship between weight and income for a sample of n = 10 women. Weights were classified in five categories and had a
- a. Find the regression equation for predicting income from weight. (Identify the income scores as X values and the weight scores as Y values.)
- b. What percentage of the variance in the income is accounted for by the regression equation? (Compute the
correlation , r. then find r2.) - c. Does the regression equation account for a significant portion of the variance in income? Use α= .05 to evaluate the F-ratio.

Answer to Problem 25P
The percentage of variance in the income accounted for the regression equation is 86.7%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Formula to calculate the Pearson correlation is,
Where covariability of the variable x and y is
As calculated in part a
Substitute
Thus, the Pearson correlation of the given data is
Thus, 86.7% of the variance in the income is accounted for by the regression equation.
c.
Answer to Problem 25P
The regression equation is significance at 5% level of significance.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
As calculated in part a
Set the null hypothesis
The alternative hypothesis
Formula to calculate the
Where,
Substitute
Substitute
Thus the
Thus the
Thus the is 123.523.
Substitute 6441.81 for
Thus the F-ratio is 76.437.
From the F-table, the value of
Decision rule:
If the calculated F-value is less than table F-value, then there is enough evidence to accept to reject the null hypothesis.
As
Thus, the regression equation is significance at 5% level of significance.
