Answer to Problem 66RE
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The table shows the number of doctoral degrees earned by Hispanic students for several years. Let
Year | Number of Degrees |
1990 | 780 |
2000 | 1305 |
2005 | 1824 |
2006 | 1882 |
2007 | 2035 |
Calculation:
Let
Year | Number of Degrees |
0 | 780 |
10 | 1305 |
15 | 1824 |
16 | 1882 |
17 | 2035 |
Using linear regression calculator on the above data, the linear regression model is:
