Exercise 1:

Data in ascending order:

112, 130, 137, 154, 164, 178, 179,
190, 195, 210, 212, 220, 225, 246,
250, 256, 269, 285, 301, 306

A. Construct a frequency distribution using a class size of 20

No. of class intervals = 1+(3.22)(log n)

= 1+(3.22)(log 20)
= 5.19 ≈ 5
Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value
= 306 – 112
= 194

Class Size = ______Range_______

No. of Class Intervals
= 194
5
= 38.8 ≈ 39

Class Mark = lower + upper limits

229- 267 228.5 – 267.5 3 248 16 7
268- 306 267.5 – 306.5 4 287 20 4

b. Make a Frequency Polygon, Histogram, Ogive of the given data.

Exercise 2. Given the following data, do the following:

a. Draw a scatterplot and determine its relationship.

Since sales (y variable) tends to increase as the Advertising Expense (x variable) increases, we
can say that there is a positive correlation between the variables.
b. Find the least square regression equation.

Slope of the equation (b):

b = N(Σxy) – (Σx)(Σy)
N (Σx2) − (Σx)2
b = 12 (372.16) – (16.4) (258.6)
12 (25.72) – 268.96
b = 4,465.92 – 4,241.04
308.64 – 268.96
b = 224.88
39.68
b = 5.67

y-intercept of the equation (a):

a= (Σy) (Σx2) - (Σx)(Σxy)

N (Σx2) − (Σx)2

a= (258.6) (25.72) - (16.4)(372.16)

12 (25.72) − (16.4)2
a= (6,651.20) – (6,103.42)
308.64 – 268.96
a= 547.78
39.68
a= 13.80

If we substitute the slope and y-intercept to the least square regression

equation
Y = a + bx,

Then, the least square regression equation will be:

Y = a + bx
Y= 13.80 + 5.67x
c. Determine the expected sales if the advertising expenses is P370,000.00

P370,000 will be written as 3.7 to follow the format in the table

Y= a + bx
Y= 13.80 + 5.67x
Y= 13.80 + 5.67 (3.7)
Y= 13.80 + 20.98
Y= 34.779 ≈ 34.78

Thus, the expected sales will be P3,478,000.00
