Step 2: Apply row operations to this matrix until the left side is reduced to I. The
computations are:
To find regression equation, we will first find slope, intercept and use it to form
regression equation..
Step 1: Count the number of values.
N=5
Step 2: Find XY, X2
See the below table
X Value Y Value
X*Y
X*X
60
3.1
60 * 3.1 = 186 60 * 60 = 3600
61
3.6 61 * 3.6 = 219.6 61 * 61 = 3721
62
3.8 62 * 3.8 = 235.6 62 * 62 = 3844
63
4
63 * 4 = 252 63 * 63 = 3969
65
4.1 65 * 4.1 = 266.5 65 * 65 = 4225
Step 3: Find X, Y, XY, X2.
X = 311
Y = 18.6
XY = 1159.7
X2 = 19359
Step 4: Substitute in the above slope formula given.
Slope(b) = (NXY - (X)(Y)) / (NX2 - (X)2)
= ((5)*(1159.7)-(311)*(18.6))/((5)*(19359)-(311)2)
= (5798.5 - 5784.6)/(96795 - 96721)
= 13.9/74
= 0.19
Step 5: Now, again substitute in the above intercept formula given.
Intercept(a) = (Y - b(X)) / N
= (18.6 - 0.19(311))/5
= (18.6 - 59.09)/5
= -40.49/5
= -8.098
Step 6: Then substitute these values in regression equation formula
Regression Equation(y) = a + bx
= -8.098 + 0.19x.
Suppose if we want to know the approximate y value for the variable x = 64.
Then we can substitute the value in the above equation.
Regression Equation(y) = a + bx
= -8.098 + 0.19(64).
= -8.098 + 12.16
= 4.06
This example will guide you to find the relationship between two variables by
calculating the Regression from the above steps.
