Below is data collected over 6 specific years. The data collected is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the cost of a slice of tuna. We would like to build a model using the CPI to predict the cost of a slice of pizza in a given year. Year 1960 1973 1986 1995 2002 2003 CPI (x) 30.2 48.3 112.3 162.2 191.9 197.8 Cost of a slice of tuna(y) 0.15 0.35 1.00 1.25 1.75 2.00 Plot the data. Are we justified in creating a Linear Regression model to predict the price of a pizza slice using the CPI? Why or why not? Calculate the descriptive statistics. Calculate the sums of squares Calculate the slope, intercept, and correlation. What is this correlation value telling us? Assemble the prediction equation, and interpret the slope within the context of the problem. State the hypotheses for the hypothesis test for regression.
