Question

Problem 5 A farmer wants to know the relationship between the amount of rainfall and the yield of a partic- ular crop. The farmer has surveyed several farms and has recorded the monthly rainfall and the corresponding crop yield for each farm over the past year, as follows: Rain fall [mm] 45 78 105 130 155 180 205 220 248 280 301 Crop yield [kg/ha] 980 1145 1320 1456 1590 1723 1912 2035 2188 2325 2488 The farmer suspects a linear relationship holds between rainfall and crop yield, and wants to predict crop yield based on rainfall. 5.1. Calculate the least squares regression line for these data. 5.2. Plot the points and the least squares regression line on the same graph. 5.3. Find a point estimate of $\sigma^2$. 5.4. Predict the crop yield when the amount of rainfall is 265 mm.

          Problem 5
A farmer wants to know the relationship between the amount of rainfall and the yield of a partic-
ular crop. The farmer has surveyed several farms and has recorded the monthly rainfall and the
corresponding crop yield for each farm over the past year, as follows:
Rain fall [mm]
45 78 105 130 155 180 205 220 248 280 301
Crop yield [kg/ha] 980 1145 1320 1456 1590 1723 1912 2035 2188 2325 2488
The farmer suspects a linear relationship holds between rainfall and crop yield, and wants to predict
crop yield based on rainfall.
5.1. Calculate the least squares regression line for these data.
5.2. Plot the points and the least squares regression line on the same graph.
5.3. Find a point estimate of $\sigma^2$.
5.4. Predict the crop yield when the amount of rainfall is 265 mm.

Step 1

- Mean of rainfall (x̄) = (45 + 78 + 105 + 130 + 155 + 180 + 205 + 220 + 248 + 280 + 301) / 11 = 191.36 mm - Mean of crop yield (ȳ) = (980 + 1145 + 1320 + 1456 + 1590 + 1723 + 1912 + 2035 + 2188 + 2325 + 2488) / 11 = 1793.36 kg/ha Show more…
