Worksheet On Regression

The document is a worksheet focused on linear regression, featuring two main problems. The first problem involves analyzing the relationship between high temperatures and soft drink sales, while the second problem examines the correlation between femur length and height. Each problem requires creating scatter plots, finding linear regression equations, and making predictions based on the models.

LINEAR REGRESSION WORKSHEET #1

Name___________________________________ Date______________ Period________

1. A convenience store manager notices that sales of soft drinks are higher on hotter days, so he assembles the
data in the table.

(a) Make a scatter plot of the data.

High Temperature (°F) Number of cans sold


(b) Find and graph a linear regression equation that models 55 340
the data.
58 335
64 410
68 460
70 450
75 610
80 735
Equation:______________________________________ 84 780

(c) Use the model to predict soft-drink sales if the temperature is 95°F.

(d) Using the scatterplot, describe the association you see between the two variables. Make sure to
mention form, direction and strength.

2. Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to height. The model allows an
anthropologist to determine the height of an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the
femur) is found. In this problem, we find the model by analyzing the data on femur length and height
for the ten males given in the table.

(a) Make a scatter plot of the data.


Femur Length (cm) Height (cm)
(b) Find and graph a linear regression equation that models the 50.1 178.5
data. 48.3 173.6
45.2 164.8
44.7 163.7
44.5 168.3
42.7 165.0
39.5 155.4
38.0 155.0
Equation:____________________________________________

(c) An anthropologist finds a femur of length 58 cm. How tall


was the person?

(d) Using the scatterplot, describe the association you see between the two variables. Make sure to
mention form, direction and strength.
