Linear Regression Practice

The document provides instructions for performing linear regression analysis by hand and using Desmos. It includes multiple datasets for students' study hours and test scores, Krabby Patties made by Spongebob, world population estimates, and employee income over years, along with questions to analyze correlation and make predictions. Each section requires creating scatter plots, finding lines of best fit, and interpreting the slope and y-intercept in context.

Instructions: Create a scatter plot, draw the line of best fit, write the equation of your line in either point-slope form or
slope intercept form, and then make a predictions using your line and equation.

1. The table below gives the amount of time students in a class studied for a test and their test scores.
Graph the data on a scatter plot, find the line of best fit, and write the equation for the line you draw.

Hours Studied 1 0 3 1.5 2.75 1 0.5 2

Test Score 78 75 90 89 97 85 81 80

b. Describe the strength and direction of correlation.

c. Using the linear regression equation predict a student’s test


score if they studied for 4 hours.

d. What is the slope? What does it represent in the context of the problem?

e. What is the y-intercept? What does it represent in the context of the problem?
