Simple Linear Regression

 Managerial decisions often are based on the


relationship between two or more variables.
 Regression analysis can be used to develop an
equation showing how the variables are related.
 The variable being predicted is called the dependent
variable and is denoted by y.
 The variables being used to predict the value of the
dependent variable are called the independent
variables and are denoted by x.

Simple Linear Regression

 Simple linear regression involves one independent


variable and one dependent variable.
 The relationship between the two variables is
approximated by a straight line.
 Regression analysis involving two or more
independent variables is called multiple regression.

Simple Linear Regression Model

 The equation that describes how y is related to x and


an error term is called the regression model.
 The simple linear regression model is:

y = b0 + b1x +e

where:
b0 and b1 are called parameters of the model,
e is a random variable called the error term.

Simple Linear Regression Equation

 The simple linear regression equation is:

E(y) = 0 + 1x

• Graph of the regression equation is a straight line.


• b0 is the y intercept of the regression line.
• b1 is the slope of the regression line.
• E(y) is the expected value of y for a given x value.

Coefficient of Determination

r2 = SSR/SST = 100/114 = .8772

The regression relationship is very strong; 87.72%


of the variability in the number of cars sold can be
explained by the linear relationship between the
number of TV ads and the number of cars sold.

Testing for Significance

 An Estimate of s 2
The mean square error (MSE) provides the estimate
of s 2, and the notation s2 is also used.

s 2 = MSE = SSE/(n - 2)

SSE   ( yi  yˆ i ) 2   ( yi  b0  b1 xi ) 2

t = 4.541 provides an area of .01 in the upper
tail. Hence, the p-value is less than .02. (Also,
t = 4.63 > 3.182.) We can reject H0.

Confidence Interval for 1

 We can use a 95% confidence interval for 1 to test


the hypotheses just used in the t test.
 H0 is rejected if the hypothesized value of 1 is not
included in the confidence interval for 1.

Testing for Significance: F Test

5. Compute the value of the test statistic.

F = MSR/MSE = 100/4.667 = 21.43

6. Determine whether to reject H0.


F = 17.44 provides an area of .025 in the upper
tail. Thus, the p-value corresponding to F = 21.43
is less than 2(.025) = .05. Hence, we reject H0.
The statistical evidence is sufficient to conclude
that we have a significant relationship between the
number of TV ads aired and the number of cars sold.

Some Cautions about the
Interpretation of Significance Tests
 Rejecting H0: b1 = 0 and concluding that the
relationship between x and y is significant does
not enable us to conclude that a cause-and-effect
relationship is present between x and y.
 Just because we are able to reject H0: b1 = 0 and
demonstrate statistical significance does not enable
us to conclude that there is a linear relationship
between x and y.
