Question

Name Another factor that may potentially influence the measurement for group 2 is patient susceptibility. Create a simple linear regression model to predict group 2 addiction scores from patient susceptibility. Provide the prediction equation and interpret the slope. (8 pts) e)

Answer 1

if we are given the data, a simple linear model can be predicted.

say the model will be=

addiction score= a +b patient susceptibility

say, addiction score=y, patient susceptibility=x

x = (1/n).ΣΧ
Sxx = Σ(x-x)(x-x)
b = Sxy/Sxx	а-у-D

interpretation:

b=unit change in patient susceptibility increases addiction score by 1 unit.
