An origin-destination survey in 10 travel-analysis zones provided the following data on zonal residential densities (households/acre) and average daily trip productions per household:
Density X: 42 5 25 10 4 15 20 12 14
22
Trip Rate Y: 1.5 4 2.1 2.6 4.8 2 2.5 3.3 1.9
2
Use the method of least squares to develop a regression model for predicting trip production rates as a function of density.
a. Plot the data and the model.
b. How good is a fit?

a)

b)  

For our case we have this:

n=10  

And the variation coeffcient would be

And we can conclude that the linear model explains 57.9 % of the variation.

Explanation:

a. Plot the data and the model.

Data given:

X: 42 5 25 10 4 15 20 12 14  22

Y: 1.5 4 2.1 2.6 4.8 2 2.5 3.3 1.9  2

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

Where:

So we can find the sums like this:

With these we can find the sums:

And the slope would be:

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

And we can find the intercept using this:

So the line would be given by:

The plot on this case is on the figure attached.

b. How good is a fit?

For this case we can calculate the correlation coefficient with the following formula:

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

For our case we have this:

n=10  

And the variation coefficient would be

And we can conclude that the linear model explains 57.9 % of the variation.

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about

answer:

me yeah
