Problem 1: Regression in Excel
Q1: Report your linear model. Use professional formatting
Equation: Temperature Anomaly = 0.013(year)-24.99
SSE: 0.275
SST: 1.970
r^2: 0.860
Q2: Explain how well your model represents the relationship between the data. Justify your answer.
This model is relatively accurate because the r^2 value is pretty close to 1.000. The value is only .24 away so its
around 76% accurate.
Q3: Use your model to predict the temperature anomaly for 1995.
1995 0.945
Q5: Report the manual least squares linear model (in form y = mx + b), SSE, SST, and r2 for the model
Equation: Temperature Anomaly = 0.0173(year)-34.094
SSE: 0.009
SST: 0.274
r^2: 0.967
Q6: Use your manual least squares model to predict the temperature anomaly for 1995 and 2020. Justify each
prediction using your knowledge of the original data set and your linear model
1995 0.419499999999999
2020
0.851999999999997
Q7: Compare the two point method model to the least squares model. Which model provides the best fitting trend line?
Justify your answer using r2.
The least squares model is much more accurate than the two point model because the r^2 value is much higher for
least squares. The least squares model has the best fitting trendline which is shown through the higher r^2 value.
