X Part I. Derive Bivariate Regression by hand. Again, we are using the same data set that we used in the in-class assessment. Case Dietary Fat Body Fat 22 9.8 22 11.7 14 8.0 21 9.7 32 10.9 26 7.8 30 21 17 1. Step 1: Find the mean of dietary fat x = 2. Step 2: Find the mean of body fat y = 3. Step 3: Find the sum of (x1 - x)y- y) = 3316 4. Step...
