To determine

Compute the regression line relating percentage of reticulocytes and number of lymphocytes.

Answer to Problem 1P

The regression line isy=1894.8+112.1x.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The sum of squares and products can be calculated as follows:

x=12.6y=18,466x2=32.02y2=41,504,606xy=27,464.6

Lxx=x2x2n=32.0212.629=14.38

Lyy=y2y2n=41,504,60618,46629=3,616,478

Lxy=xyxyn=27,464.612.6×18,4669=1,612.2

The slope can be calculated as follows:

b=LxyLxx=1612.214.38=112.1

The intercept can be calculated as follows:

a=ybxn=18,466112.1×12.69=1894.8

The regression line is given as follows:

y=a+bx=1894.8+112.1x

Thus, the regression line isy=1894.8+112.1x.
