Draw a scatter diagram


Discuss the below:

Q: A sociologist in interested in the relation between x = number of job changes and y = annual salary( in thousands of dollars) for people living in the Nashville area. A random sample of 10 people employed in Nashville provided the following information: ( You may have to re-write the graph below because I cannot get it to line up properly, I hope it does not confuse you, I actually re-typed it below, hopefully it will come out clearer:)

X # of Jobs| 4 7 5 6 1 5 9 10 10 3
Y $ in $1000| 33 37 34 32 32 38 43 37 40 33

Ex = 60; Ey = 359; Ex^2= 442; Ey^2= 13,013; Exy= 2231

A) draw a scatter diagram

B) find the equation of the least-squared line, and plot the line on the scatter diagram of part (a).

C) find the correlation coefficient of r. Find the coefficient determination of r^2. What percentage of variation in y in explained by the variation in x and the least-squares model?

D) if someone had x = 2 job changes, what does the least-squares line predict for y, the annual salary?

X ( # of jobs) Y ( salary in $1000)
