Question

Use excel in solving problem. I need help on how to use excel for the following below.

A sample of 5 automobiles was taken, and the miles per gallon (MPG), horsepower, and total weight were recorded. Develop a linear regression model to predict MPG using horsepower.

A sample of 5 automobiles was taken, and the miles per gallon (MPG), horsepower, and total weight were recorded. Using the linear regression model developed, predict what the MPG is when Horsepower is 73 and when Horsepower is 68.

We get regression output from excel : ( DATA tab > data analysis > regression )

Slope = b = -0.271 , intercept = a = 57.433

Hence the regression equation is

y = a + b*x

y = 57.433 - 0.271 * x

Here we have x = 73

y = 57.433 - 0.271 * 73  

= 37.65 MPG

For x = 68

y = 57.433 - 0.271 * 68

= 39.01 MPG

Q2.

MPG Total Weight

37 1797

We get regression output from excel : ( DATA tab > data analysis > regression )

Slope = b = 0.006 , intercept = a = 29.207

Hence the regression equation is

y = a + b*x

y = 29.207 + 0.006 * x

Here we have x = 1987

y = 29.207 + 0.006 * 1987

= 41.129 MPG

For x = 2130

y = 29.207 + 0.006 * 2130

= 41.987 MPG
