Question: The age and height of a person is recorded. Determine the equation of the regression line.
Age (years) (x)16182124283340
Height (feet) (y)55.15.35.555.65.65.6


A ) y′ = 4.74 + 0.03x
B ) y′ = - 4.74 - 0.03x
C ) y′ = - 4.74 + 0.03x
D ) y′ = 4.74 - 0.03x

Steps to derive

1 Make a table with values for x, y, x2, xy


2 Regression line equation is y′ = a + bx
a = (Σy)(Σx2)-(Σx)(Σxy)n(Σx2)-(Σx)2
b = n(Σxy)-(Σx)(Σy)n(Σx2)-(Σx)2

3 a = 4.74, b = 0.03
 [Substitute the values and simplify.]

4 Therefore, the equation of the regression line y′ = a + bx is y′ = 4.74 + 0.03x.



Hence the right answer is Option A
