Simple Linear Regression

1. Complete the table below and answer the guide questions that follow.

Table 1: The relationship between the students’ number of hours spent in studying Math
problems in a week and their academic performance in Math.

Number of Study Performance XY X2 Y2 X-X̄ Y-Y (X-X̄) (Y-Y) (X-X̄)2

Hours (X) in Math (Y)
4 80
6 82
8 83
10 85
12 87
14 90
16 92
18 94
20 97
22 98
ΣXY = ΣX2 = ΣY2 = Σ (X- ΣY-
ΣX = 130 ΣY = 888 Σ (X-X̄) (Y-Y) = Σ (X-X̄)2 =
X̄)= Y=0
X̄ = Y=
N=

2. Based on the table, describe the relationship between the students’ number of hours spent in
studying Math problems in a week and their academic performance in Math.

3. Solve the value if r using the formula:

r= N(ΣXY) – (ΣX)(ΣY)

[NΣX2 – (ΣX)2] [NΣY2 – (ΣY)2]

4. In your own words, explain how are the two variables related based on the computer r.

5. Solve for m(slope of the line) using this formula

m = Σ(X- X̄) (Y-Y)

Σ (X- X̄)2

6. To solve for b (y-intercept) using this formula

b = Y – (m) (X̄)

7. Write the equation of your line by substituting the value of m and b

Y= mX + b
