Regression line and correlation coefficient help
| year | Value ($) |
| 0 | 1,500 |
| 1 | 1,1200 |
| 2 | 1,100 |
| 3 | 1,00 |
| 4 | 800 |
| 5 | 400 |
| 6 | 200 |
b. given that the equation of the regression line between value and year is y= -207.14x + 1507.14 with an R^2 value of 0.9622, how reliable do you think the regression equation is at predicting the future value of a computer in 5 years time?
c. calculate the value of the correlation coefficient between year and value
d. estimate the value of the computer in year 7, using the regression equation
Re: Regression line and correlation coefficient help
Please confirm the values for
year = 0 as it is lower than after a year on, do you think a computer can appreciate?
year = 1 is the comma in the correct place? Should it be 1,200?
year = 3, should this be 1,000?

Did you find any t-stats or p-values?

substitute x=7 into the equation
Re: Regression line and correlation coefficient help
Yes it is suppose to be going down past 0 and yes the numbers should be 1,200 and 1,000.
Is there any way can you show me the work or explain it a little better?

and I dont even know what t-stats or p-values are...
