Worksheet 7 Solution

The document discusses two examples of simple linear regression analysis: 1) Energy drink consumption and exam scores for 10 college students showed a poor positive relationship (r=0.145) and the linear relationship was classified as weak. The coefficient of determination (r^2) was 0.021, meaning 2.1% of variability in exam scores was explained by energy drink consumption. 2) Candy bar sales data from 6 cities with varying prices showed a strong negative relationship between price and sales (r=-0.8854). The estimated slope was -48.19, meaning sales were estimated to decrease by $48.19 if price increased by $1. The line of best fit equation was estimated to be

Work Sheet # 7

1) Energy drink consumption has continued to gain in popularity since the


1997 debut of Red Bull, the current leader in the energy drink market.
Given below are the exam scores and the number of 12-ounce energy drinks
consumed within a week prior to the exam of 10 college students.

2) A candy bar manufacturer is interested in trying to estimate how sales are


influenced by the price of their product. To do this, the company randomly
chooses 6 small cities and offers the candy bar at different prices. Using
candy bar sales as the dependent variable, the company will conduct a
simple linear regression on the data below:

City Price($) X Sales Y X2 Y2 XY


River Falls 1.3 100 1.69 10000 130

a. Referring to the previous table , what is the estimated slope for the
candy bar price and sales data?

(∑ 𝑥)2 122
𝑆𝑆𝑥 = ∑ 𝑥 2 − 𝑛

b. Find the equation of the line of best fit.

𝛽̂0 = 𝑦̄ − 𝛽̂1 𝑥̄ = 65 − (−48.19)(2) = 161.39

𝑦̂ = 161.39 − 48.19𝑥

c. Referring to the previous table, what is the estimated mean change in


the sales of the candy bar if price goes up by $1.00?
The sales will decrease by $48.19
