Q1. A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between premature birth and mental development at 12 months. The infant's birth weight was used as an index of prematurity. At age 12 months, the child's mental development was recorded. The results are shown below (the weights are in pounds): Birth 4 6. 7 8. Weight(x) Developmental 85 Quotients(y) 88 87 94 96 Summary: n= 5, £x=30, £x² = 190, Ey= 450, Ey = 40590, E xy = 2728, a. Find the least square prediction equation, y on x. b. Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the average value of y when x 6.5 (i.e., a C.I. for E(y|x = 6.5). c. Obtain the coefficient of correlation (r) and interpret the result. d. Test the hypothesis that H, :p= 0 vs. H, :p+0.Use a = 0.05.
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.

Summary: n = 5, £x=30, £x² = 190, Ey= 450, Ey² = 40590, Exy = 2728 .
a. Find the least square prediction equation, y on x.
b. Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the average value of y when x 6.5 (i.e., a C.I. for
E(y|x= 6.5)).
c. Obtain the coefficient of correlation (r) and interpret the result.
