Questions Answers Topic 5

This document provides solutions to 5 questions related to linear regression analysis. For each question, the document computes relevant regression statistics such as the slope (b1), y-intercept (b0), sum of squared errors (SSE), total sum of squares (SST), and regression sum of squares (SSR). Hypothesis tests including the t-test and F-test are used to evaluate the significance of the regression results. Computations are shown to estimate the regression equation, goodness of fit, correlation, standard errors, and test hypotheses about the slope of the regression line.
