4. Trying to determine the number of students to accept is a tricky task for universities.
The Admissions staff at a small private college wants to use data from the past few
years to predict the number of students enrolling in the university from those who are
accepted by the university.
R INPUT:
accepted <- c(2440,2800,2720,2360,2660,2619)
enrolled <-c(611,708,637,584,614,624)
fit <- lm(enrolled
accepted)
summary(fit)
R OUTPUT:
Coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t])
(Intercept)
accepted
88.88272
182.36584
0.487
0.6515
0.20801
0.07002
2.971
0.0411 *
Signif. codes:
***' 0.001 **' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' 1
Residual standard error: 26.35 on 4 degrees of freedom
0.6881,
Adjusted R-squared:
0.6101
Multiple R-squared:
F-statistic: 8.824 on 1 and 4 DF, p-value: 0.04112
(a) Write an equation for the regression line.
(b) What is the slope of the least-squares regression line? Interpret this in the context
of the application.
(c) Interpret the intercept of the line in context. Does the interpretation make sense?
