Question

(Linear regression) Is there a relationship between final exam scores and the number of hours spent studying per week? A study was conducted involving 8 students and the data is shown below.

Hours spent studying per week final score

4 75

9 82

10 92

14 100

4 68

7 88

12 95

3 77

Find a linear regression model by using the minimum absolute error method. Reformulate it as a linear programming and solve it using AMPL. Give a prediction of the IEOR 240 final score on a student who studied 2 hours a week.

Explanation / Answer

SO we will find the linear line regression Model

Line regression equation

y^ = a + bx

THe linear regression equation can be calculated by x, y, x2 ,xy

So here n = 8

a = [(y) (x2 ) - (x) (xy)]/ [ n (x2 ) - (x)2 ]

all the values are given above and putting all these values from the table, we get

a = [677 * 611 - 63 * 5617]/ [ 8 * 611 - 632 ]

a = 59776/ 919 = 65.044

b = [ n(xy) - (x)((y)]/ [ n (x2 ) - (x)2 ]

b = [8 * 5617 - 63 * 677]/ [8 * 611 - 632 ]

b = 2285/919 = 2.486

y^ = 65.044 + 2.486x

Final scocre on a student who studied 2 hours a week

y^(2) = 65.044 + 2.486 *2 = 70.02 Hours
