This module provides a practice of Linear Regression and Correlation as a part of Collaborative Statistics collection (col10522) by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean.

Student learning outcomes

  • The student will evaluate bivariate data and determine if a line is an appropriate fit to the data.

Given

Below are real data for the first two decades of AIDS reporting. ( Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention )

Adults and adolescents only, united states
Year # AIDS cases diagnosed # AIDS deaths

1982 1,170 453
1983 3,076 1,482

Total 802,118 489,093
We will use the columns “year” and “# AIDS cases diagnosed” for all questions unless otherwise stated.

Graphing

Graph “year” vs. “# AIDS cases diagnosed.” Plot the points on the graph located below in the section titled "Plot" . Do not include pre-1981. Label both axes with words. Scale both axes.

Data

Enter your data into your calculator or computer. The pre-1981 data should not be included. Why is that so?

Linear equation

Write the linear equation below, rounding to 4 decimal places:

For any prediction questions, the answers are calculated using the least squares (best fit) line equation cited in the solution.

Calculate the following:

  • a = size 12{a={}} {}
  • b = size 12{b={}} {}
  • corr . = size 12{ ital "corr" "." ={}} {}
  • n = size 12{n={}} {} (# of pairs)

  • a = -3,448,225 size 12{a="-3,448,225"} {}
  • b = 1750 size 12{b="1750"} {}
  • corr . = 0 . 4526 size 12{ ital "corr" "." =0 "." "4526"} {}
  • n = 22 size 12{n="22"} {}

child interact with other kids under doc supervision. play therapy. speech therapy. Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game. string and beads game. the more you interact with the child the more effective
