Question

6.4 We have data about some cities in the world.

Latitudes are given in degrees and average temperatures in January in degrees Celsius. Estimate a and b in regression line = a + bx for these data and calculate Pearson regression coefficient r, explanation rate R2 and Spearman regression coefficient rs. The independent variable should be latitude and the dependent average temperature in January.  Also do a one-sided test on the significance level 5% with the null hypothesisH0: b = 0 and the alternative hypothesis H A: b <0.

City Beijing Boston Paris London Edmonton Novosibirsk Oslo Latitude 39,9 42,4 48,9 51,5 53,5 55,0 59,6 average temperature
(January) -3,1 -1,5 4,9 4,3 -10,4 -16,5 -4,3

Explanation / Answer

y^ = 15.6205 -0.38752*x

r = 0.35319

r^2 = 0.1247

p-value for left tailed test = 0.437/2 = 0.2185 > 0.05

we fail to reject the null
