1 11 4 Regression Objective 4. Compute the equation of the regression line. In studing relationships between two variables, collect the data and then construct a scatter plot. The purpose of the scatter plot, as indicated previousl, is to determine the nature of the relationship. The possibilities include a positive linear relationship, a negative linear relationship, a curvilinear relationship, or no discernible relationship. After the scatter plot is drawn, the net steps are to compute the value of the correlation coefficient and to test the significance of the relationship. If the value of the correlation coefficient is significant, the net step is to determine the equation of the regression line, which is the data s line of best fit. (Note: Determining the regression line when r is not significant and then making predictions using the regression line is meaningless.) The purpose of the regression line is to enable the researcher to see the trend and make predictions on the basis of the data. Line of Best Fit Figure Scatter Plot with Three Lines Fit to the Data Figure shows a scatter plot for the data of two variables. It shows that several lines can be drawn on the graph near the points. Given a scatter plot, one must be able to draw the line of best fit. Best fit means that the sum of the squares of the vertical distances from each point to the line is at a minimum. The reason one needs a line of best fit is that the values of will be predicted from the values of ; hence, the closer the points are to the line, the better the fit and the prediction will be. See Figure Historical Note Francis Galton drew the line of best fit visuall. An assistant of Karl Pearson s named G. Yule devised the mathematical solution using the least-squares method, emploing a mathematical technique developed b Adrien Marie Legendre about 100 ears earlier. Figure shows the relationship between the values of the correlation coefficient and the variabilit of the scores about the regression line. The closer the points fit the regression line, the higher the absolute value of r is and the closer it will be to 1 or 1. When all the points fall eactl on the line, r will equal 1 or 1, and this indicates
2 Section 11 4 Regression 479 a perfect linear relationship between the variables. Figure 11 12(a) shows r as positive and approimatel equal to 0.50; Figure 11 12(b) shows r approimatel equal to 0.90; and Figure 11 12(c) shows r equal to 1. For positive values of r, the line slopes upward from left to right.

For negative values of r, the line slopes downward from left to right. Determination of the Regression Line Equation In algebra, the equation of a line is usuall given as m b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept. (Students who need an algebraic review of the properties of a line should refer to Appendi A Section A 3 before studing this section.) In statistics, the equation of the regression line is written as ' a b, where a is the ' intercept and b is the slope of the line. See Figure

This measure was used as the basis for the measure of the meter. Legendre developed the least-squares method around the ear There are several methods for finding the equation of the regression line. Two formulas are given here. These formulas use the same values that are used in computing the value of the correlation coefficient. The mathematical development of these formulas is beond the scope of this book. Formulas for the Regression Line ' a b a 2 n 2 2 n b n 2 2 where a is the ' intercept and b is the slope of the line. Rounding Rule for the Intercept and Slope places. Round the values of a and b to three decimal Eample 11 9 Find the equation of the regression line for the data in Eample 11 4, and graph the line on the scatter plot of the data. Solution The values needed for the equation are n 6, 345, 819, 47,634, and 2 20,399. Substituting in the formulas, one gets a 2 n 2 2 n 6 47, b n , Hence, the equation of the regression line, ' a b, is ' , , ,
4 Section 11 4 Regression 481 The graph of the line is shown in Figure Figure Regression Line for Eample Pressure = Age Note: When drawing the scatter plot and the regression line, it is sometimes desirable to truncate the graph (see Chapter 2). The reason is to show the line drawn in the range of the independent and dependent variables. For eample, the regression line in Figure is drawn between the values of approimatel 43 and 82 and the ' values of approimatel 120 and 152. The range of the values in the original data shown in Eample 11 4 is and the range of the ' values is Notice that the ais has been truncated; the distance between 0 and 40 is not shown in the proper scale compared to the distance between 40 and 50, 50 and 60, etc. The ' ais has been similarl truncated. The important thing to remember is that when the ais and sometimes the ' ais have been truncated, do not use the ' intercept value, a, to graph the line. To be on the safe side when graphing the regression line, use a value for selected from the range of values. Eample Find the equation of the regression line for the data in Eample 11 5, and graph the line on the scatter plot. Solution The values needed for the equation are n 7, 57, 511, 3745, and Substituting in the formulas, one gets a 2 n 2 2 n b n Hence, the equation of the regression line, ' a b, is ' The graph of the line is shown in Figure
5 482 Chapter 11 Correlation and Regression Figure Regression Line for Eample Final grade = Number of absences The sign of the correlation coefficient and the sign of the slope of the regression line will alwas be the same. That is, if r is positive, then b will be positive; if r is negative, then b will be negative. The reason is that the numerators of the formulas are the same and determine the signs of r and b, and the denominators are alwas positive. The regression line can be used to make predictions for the dependent variable. The method for making predictions is shown in the net eample. Eample Using the equation of the regression line found in Eample 11 9, predict the blood pressure for a person who is 50 ears old. Solution Substituting 50 for in the regression line ' gives ' (0.964)(50) (rounded to 129) In other words, the predicted sstolic blood pressure for a 50-ear-old person is 129. The value obtained in Eample is a point prediction, and with point predictions, no degree of accurac or confidence can be determined. More information on prediction is given in Section 11 5, including prediction intervals. When r is not significantl different from 0, the best predictor of is the mean of the data values of. For valid predictions, the value of the correlation coefficient must be significant. Also, two other assumptions must be met. Assumptions for Valid Predictions in Regression 1. For an specific value of the independent variable, the value of the dependent variable must be normall distributed about the regression line. See Figure 11 16(a). 2. The standard deviation of each of the dependent variables must be the same for each value of the independent variable. See Figure 11 16(b).

For eample, in 1979, some eperts predicted that the United States would run out of oil b the ear This prediction was based on the current consumption and on known oil reserves at that time. However, since then, the automobile industr has produced man new fuel-efficient vehicles. Also, there are man as et undiscovered oil fields. Finall, science ma someda discover a wa to run a car on something as unlikel but as common as peanut oil. In addition, the price of a gallon of gasoline was predicted to reach $10 a few ears later. Fortunatel this has not come to pass. Remember that when predictions are made, the are based on present conditions or on the premise that present trends will continue. This assumption ma or ma not prove true in the future. The steps for finding the value of the correlation coefficient and the regression line equation are summarized in the Procedure Table. Procedure Table Finding the Correlation Coefficient and the Regression Line Equation STEP 1 Make a table, as shown in Step 2. STEP 2 Find the values of, 2, and 2.
