Problem 2: Person Weight Blood Pressure

The graph shows a positive correlation between weight and blood pressure for 5 individuals. A regression line can be fitted to the data, with higher weights generally associated with higher blood pressures. The regression line and correlation coefficient can be used to interpret the relationship between weight and blood pressure based on this data. The second graph shows a regression model for age and salary of 5 individuals. The regression model can be used to interpolate, such as estimating the salary of someone aged 22, or extrapolate, such as predicting the salary for someone aged 50, based on the available data and regression line.

Problem 2

The graph below represents each individual’s weight and corresponding blood pressure. Recall
in previous sections the formulas for calculating a regression line. Using the correlation
coefficient and regression line, interpret the graph.

Person Weight Blood Pressure


A 150 125
B 169 130
C 175 160
D 180 169
E 200 150

Problem 3
The following graph shows the regression model for age and salary. You are given the following
regression model:

  

Using the information given below to give an example of interpolation and extrapolation
based on this model.
Person Age Salary
A 18 15000
B 21 60000
C 24 35000
D 30 75000
E 45 95000
