Okay, so we're given this data set here, which represents something about nitrogen emissions.
00:09
With x being the burner rate, apparently it's full burner.
00:19
And y is the emissions.
00:22
Okay.
00:23
So first thing we have to do is figure out a linear regression line.
00:27
So all you have to do for that is put all of your x data into a list, either in a calculator or a statistical program.
00:33
Same with y into a list and then run a linear model.
00:37
So i did this in r, so i ran a linear model of y given x.
00:42
There's lots of different ways to do that though.
00:45
And it gives me a couple different things, right? it gives me the slope and the y intercept.
00:50
So the slope it gave me, for its estimate, was 1 .714.
00:58
And the y intercept that it gave me was negative 44 .58.
01:10
So that means that the line should be y equals a, which is the intercept negative 44 .58, plus bx, which is 1 .714, my slope times x.
01:24
So, oh, we're running, sorry, we're going to four decimal places, i guess.
01:30
So let's just go a little bit more.
01:32
So this is 501.
01:35
There we go.
01:36
And slope should be 0 .1739.
01:44
Okay.
01:46
So actually make this negative 44 .5801 plus 1 .7139x.
01:55
So then for b, we want to know what's the estimate for the emissions when the burner rate is 205.
02:03
So that just means x equals 205 in my equation here.
02:06
And so i need to do negative 44 .5801 plus 1 .7139 times 205...
