The equation of a regression line between two variables x and y and the correlation coefficient were computed as shown here. Which of the following statements are true? y=-3x+2 r=-95 I) The variable y is positively correlated to the variable x II) The variable y is negatively correlated to the variable x II) 95% percent of variation in the y variable can be explained by the x variable IV) 90.25% percent of variation in the y variable can be explained by the x variable O I and III only I and IV only O Il and III only O Il and IV only
c) Show that the coefficient of determination, R², can also be obtained as the squared correlation between actual Y values and the Y values estimated from the regression model where Y is the dependent variable. Note that the coefficient of correlation between Y and X is Eyixi r = And also that ỹ = ŷ (18.75)
Beachcomber Ltd in a local car dealership that sells used and new vehicles. The manager of the company wants to know how different variables affect the sales of his vehicles. A random sample of yearly data was taken with the view to testing the model: SALES=?+?AGE+?MIL+?ENG Where SALES= amount that a vehicle is sold for($000’s), AGE = age of the vehicle, MIL= the total mileage of the vehicle at the point of sale and ENG = the size of the engine. The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained:     d) Hence test whether ? is significant. Give reasons for your answer.  e) Perform the F Test making sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis.  f) Given an interpretation of the term “R-sq” and comment on its value.
