An auto manufacturing company wanted to investigate how the price of one of its car models depreciates with age. The research department at the company took a sample of eight cars of this model and collected the following information on the ages (in years) and prices(in hundreds of dollars) of these carsAge 8 3 6 9 2 5 6 3Price 18 94 50 21 145 42 36 99(a) Find the regression line with price as a dependent variable and age as an independent variable.(b) Predict the price of a 7 year old car of this model.(c) Estimate the price of an 18 year old car of this model.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)

Price=150.414-16.626 Age

b)

$34.032

c)

We can't estimate the price of 18 year old car using the above regression equation because the price of 18 year old car falls outside the scope of the model

Step-by-step explanation:

Age(X)   Price(Y)

8              18

3              94

6              50

9              21

2              145

5              42

6              36

3              99

a)

The regression equation can be written as

y=a+bx

[tex]b=\frac{sum(x-xbar)(y-ybar)}{sum(x-xbar)^{2} }[/tex]

a=ybar-bxbar

xbar=sumx/n

xbar=(8+3+6+9+2+5+6+3)/8=5.25

ybar=sumy/n

ybar=(18+94+50+21+145+42+36+99)/8=63.125

x y x-xbar y-ybar (x-xbar)^2 (x-xbar)(y-ybar)

8 18 2.75  -45.125 7.5625        -124.09375

3 94 -2.25 30.875 5.0625        -69.46875

6 50 0.75 -13.125 0.5625        -9.84375

9 21 3.75  -42.125 14.0625        -157.96875

2 145 -3.25 81.875 10.5625        -266.09375

5 42 -0.25 -21.125 0.0625         5.28125

6 36 0.75 -27.125 0.5625        -20.34375

3 99 -2.25 35.875 5.0625        -80.71875

Total             43.5        -723.25

[tex]b=\frac{sum(x-xbar)(y-ybar)}{sum(x-xbar)^{2} }[/tex]

b=-723.25/43.5

b=-16.626

a=ybar-bxbar

a=63.125-(16.626)*5.25

a=150.414

Thus, the required regression equation is

y=150.414-16.626 x

Price=150.414-16.626 Age

b)

For predicting price of 7 years old car we put x=7 in the estimated regression equation

y=150.414-16.626 x

y=150.414-16.626(7)

y=150.414-116.382

y=34.032

The predicted price of a 7 year old car is $34.032.

c)

We can't estimate the price of 18 year old car using the above regression equation because the price of 18 year old car falls outside the scope of the model. The estimate of price is only valid for 2 to 9 year old car.

The Least Square Regression line equation, gives the best line that describes the relationship between the price and the age of the car model.

The correct responses are;

  • (a) The regression line equation is; [tex]\overline y = \mathbf{-16.6264 \cdot \overline x + 150.4163}[/tex]. Please find attached the graph of the regression line.
  • (b) The price of a 7 year old car is $3,403.15.
  • (c) The price of an 18 year old car is $-14,885.89.

Reasons:

(a) The given data is presented in the following table;

[tex]\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}Age&8&3&6&9&2&5&6&3\\Price&18&94&50&21&145&42&36&99\end{array}\right][/tex]

The regression equation is given as follows;

[tex]\overline y = b \cdot \overline x + a[/tex]

Where;

[tex]\overline y[/tex] = The price of the car = 63.125

[tex]\overline x[/tex] = The age of the car = 5.25

[tex]b = \mathbf{\dfrac{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right) \times \left(y_i - \bar y\right) }{\sum \left(x_i - \bar x\right )^2 }}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle b = \frac{-723.25}{43.5} \apporx -16.6264[/tex]

[tex]a = \mathbf{\overline y - b \cdot \overline x}[/tex]

Therefore;

a = 63.125 - (-16.6264 × 5.25) = 150.4163

Therefore;

The equation for the regression line is; [tex]\overline y[/tex] = -16.6264·[tex]\overline x[/tex] + 150.4163

The graph of the data points showing the regression line created with MS Excel is attached.

(b) The price of a 7 year old car is therefore;

[tex]\overline y[/tex] = -16.6264 × 7 + 150.4163 = 34.0315

The price of a 7 year old car is $34.0315 × 100 = $3,403.15

(c) The price of an 18 year old car is therefore;

Price, [tex]\overline y[/tex] = -16.6264 × 18 + 150.4163 = -148.8589

The price of an 18 year old car is $-148.8589 × 100 = $-14,885.89

Therefore, the price of an 18 year old car can be taken as 0
