Research Question: At Arby’s are calories related to the size of the sandwich? Observational study Response = calories Explanatory variable = small or large sandwich Small sandwich means less than 7 oz (n = 7) Large sandwich means more than 7 oz (n = 7)
There seems to be a difference. (Is it statistically significant?) We can refine the explanatory variable and get more information about the relationship between calories and serving (sandwich) size: Rather than split it into small and large, keep the numerical values of the explanatory variable.
Best fitting line through the data: called the REGRESSION LINE Strength of relationship: measured by CORRELATON
calories = x(serving size in oz) For example if you have a 6 oz sandwich on the average you expect to get about: x6 = = 350 calories For a 10 oz sandwich: x10 = = 590
calories = x(serving size in oz) -10 is called the intercept 60 is called the slope For every extra oz of serving you get an increase of 60 calories
Weight Question: What is the relationship between weight and ideal weight (Stat Spring 04)?
Red line: Weight = Ideal Weight
Yellow “regression” line: Ideal weight = Weight Correlation =.867 R-squared =.752 S=15.17
Red line: Weight = Ideal Weight
Yellow “regression” line: Ideal weight = Weight Correlation =.850 R-squared =.723 S=12.36
Red line: Weight = Ideal Weight
Yellow regression line: Ideal weight = Weight Correlation =.827 R-squared =.684 S=8.14
