Solution
Sure, let's solve this step by step:
a. Σx = sum of all x values = 21 + 25 + 23 + 24 + 20 + 15 + 25 + 21 + 17 + 24 + 26 + 22 + 18 + 19 = 320. So, Blank 1 = 320.
b. Σy = sum of all y values = 125 + 125 + 120 + 125 + 130 + 120 + 145 + 130 + 130 + 130 + 130 + 140 + 110 + 115 = 1815. So, Blank 2 = 1815.
c. Σx2 = sum of squares of all x values = 21^2 + 25^2 + 23^2 + 24^2 + 20^2 + 15^2 + 25^2 + 21^2 + 17^2 + 24^2 + 26^2 + 22^2 + 18^2 + 19^2 = 6814. So, Blank 3 = 6814.
d. Σy2 = sum of squares of all y values = 125^2 + 125^2 + 120^2 + 125^2 + 130^2 + 120^2 + 145^2 + 130^2 + 130^2 + 130^2 + 130^2 + 140^2 + 110^2 + 115^2 = 238975. So, Blank 4 = 238975.
e. Σxy = sum of the product of corresponding x and y values = 21125 + 25125 + 23120 + 24125 + 20130 + 15120 + 25145 + 21130 + 17130 + 24130 + 26130 + 22140 + 18110 + 19115 = 41420. So, Blank 5 = 41420.
f. Pearson's r = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / sqrt([nΣx2 - (Σx)^2][nΣy2 - (Σy)^2]) = (1441420 - 3201815) / sqrt([146814 - 320^2][14238975 - 1815^2]) = 0.472. So, Blank 6 = 0.472.
g. Variance = (Σx2/n - (Σx/n)^2) = (6814/14 - (320/14)^2) = 11.84. So, Blank 7 = 11.84.
h. Slope of the simple linear regression line = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx2 - (Σx)^2) = (1441420 - 3201815) / (146814 - 320^2) = 4.63. So, Blank 8 = 4.63.
i. y-intercept of the simple linear regression line = (Σy/n) - slope*(Σx/n) = (1815/14) - 4.63*(320/14) = 47.14. So, Blank 9 = 47.14.
j. Pearson's r = 0.472 indicates a moderate linear relationship. So, Blank 10 = c.
