    The document contains two exercises analyzing correlation and regression. The first examines the relationship between temperature and fire incidents, finding a high positive correlation. The second looks at defective products from a molding machine's operation time, finding a moderately low positive correlation. Both generate regression equations to predict output values from input values like temperature or time.

    EXERCISE ON CORRELATION AND REGRESSION:

    A. Perform a complete regression analysis for the following problem.


    1. A board member of the Fire Prevention Task Force gathered the following information showing
    the average temperature in a month and the number of fire incidences in Cebu City last year.
    a) Solve for the correlation coefficient r and determine the strength of relationship
    r = 0.89, high correlation
    b) Find the regression equation
    𝑦̂ = -10.70 + 0.57x
    c) Predict the number of fire incidences when the average temperature is to 33.5 0C,
    𝑦̂ = -10.70 + 0.57(33.5) = 8.395 / 8 fire incidences

    Temperature in 0C (x) 26 27 30 32 34 36 29 28 26.5 25 26.7 24


    Number of Fire
    4 5 5 7 10 9 8 7 4 3 4 3
    Incidences (y)

    2. The following table shows the number of hours a molding machine can operate continuously and
    the number of defective items it produced within the time range.
    a) Solve for the correlation coefficient r and determine the strength of relationship
    r = 0.43, moderately low correlation
    b) Find the regression equation
    𝑦̂ = 4.76 + 0.22x
    c) predict the number of defective products when the molding machine operates for 10 hours.
    𝑦̂ = 4.76 + 0.22(10) = 6.96 / 7 defective products

    Machine Hours of
    12 8 15 9 6 14 12 24 16 20 7 15
    Operation (x)
    Number of
    Defective Products 7 10 9 8 3 8 12 10 8 9 4 4
    (y)

    B. Analyze the given figure taken from a research study and answer the given questions.

    𝑦̂ = 0.0474𝑥 + 37.564
    𝑟 2 = 0.6392

    of Deaths from Coronavirus in a Country

    1) What is the value of “r”? r = 0.80


    2) What is the strength and direction of the relationship between the number of deaths from COVID
    and its confirmed number of cases? There is a high correlation and positive relationship between
    the number of deaths from COVID and its confirmed number of cases. As the number of cases of
    COVID increases, the number of deaths also increases.
    3) What is your interpretation about the equation of the regression line? A slope of 0.0474 represents
    the change in the total number of deaths of COVID for every increase by 1 of the total case.
    4) What is the predicted number of deaths when there are 1000 confirmed cases? 84.964 / 85 deaths
