Press Stat Calc 4:LinReg Vars Y-Vars 1:Function Enter Enter
You should see all data.

4. Correlation Coefficient “r” is equal to .811.
The trend line equation is y = .19x – 7.54

5. a. Explain the meaning of the y-intercept .
Temp.
Emergency Calls 68 7 74 4 82 8 88 10 93 11 99 9
101 13
In the equation
y = .19x – 7.54
a. Explain the meaning of the y-intercept .
b. Explain the meaning of the slope.

6. Equation: y = .19x – 7.54
Temp.
Emergency Calls 68 7 74 4 82 8 88 10 93 11 99 9
101 13
A. The number of emergency phone calls when the temp is 0.
B. The number of emergency phone calls increases .19 for every degree increase in temperature. (The # of calls/degree temp increase)

10. Correlation Coefficient: -.944
Equation:
y = -3.62x

11. Equation: y = -3.62x + 102.5 Meaning of Y-Intercept:
Absences
Final Grade 6 82 2 86 15 43 9 74 12 58 5 90 8 78
Meaning of Y-Intercept:
The final grade when a student has 0 absences. (102.5)
Meaning of slope:
Final grade/absence – the grade decreases (3.62) for every absence made

12. Example……
Max used linear regression to help him understand the relationship between the temp and the number of ice cream cones sold. The line of best fit was y = 5x + 60, where x is the # of ice cream cones sold and y is the temp in degrees F. In terms of ice cream cones sold and temp answer the following.

13. Equation: y = 5x + 60 Explain the meaning of the y-intercept:
The temperature (60 degree F) when no ice cream cones are sold.
Explain the meaning of the slope:
The temperature increases 5 degrees F for every ice cream cone sold. (Temp/# sold)
