1. Save on your laptop computer LinearReg-HTN12.xlsx sent via email and also posted in
Notes1 folder in weekly folders on Blackboard..
2. Upload the excel spreadsheet to StatCrunch. Log into www.statcrunch.com, use
email/password to sign-in (top right of landing page). Select Upload data
3. Data will open in StatCrunch ready to analyze.
4. Fit the following Simple linear regression models/equations and one multiple linear
regression model, i.e., Stat->Regression->Simple/Multiple
5. Copy screenshot of StatCrunch and paste in boxes on the left. Enter requested numbers
from the output in boxes on the right.
StatCrunch Output
equation DiastolicBP=88.41-0.12*Age
R correlation coefficient=-0.20
R2 R-squared=0.03998 or 4%
Intercept 88.41
Slope -0.12
P-value* for slope, p=0.5337
significant (p<0.05)? no
P-value* For model, p=0.5337
significant (p<0.05)? no

Model (Equation) 5: Y=DiastolicBP, X=age +sex +BMI [Note, this is a multiple linear
regression model
