2. Regression Techniques in Statistics Regression Techniques focuses on imparting students with practical skills essential for addressing real-world challenges through regression analysis. This course covers critical topics like model building, variable selection, and interpretation of regression results, offering hands-on experience via assignments that simulate professional scenarios. Students develop the ability to analyze intricate data sets, derive insightful conclusions, and effectively communicate findings. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, the course ensures students not only grasp regression concepts but also adeptly apply them across diverse sectors, from business analytics to scientific research. These assignments are crafted to sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, preparing students for roles requiring robust regression analysis proficiency.

3. Exercise - 1 Regression Through the Origin The problem involves a linear regression model without an intercept for bivariate data. It requires solving for the least-squares line and determining the distribution of the slope.

4. Solution The solution involves finding the least-squares line by minimizing the sum of squared differences between observed and predicted values. The slope's distribution can be determined based on the data's variability. The sum of squared residuals follows a specific distribution, which helps in estimating the variance of the errors.

5. Exercise - 2 Simple Linear Regression This question involves applying a simple linear regression model to a set of data points, aiming to determine the intercept and slope using statistical methods.

6. Solution (a). Solve directly for the least-squares estimates of the intercept and slope of the simple linear regression.

7. Solution (b). Give formulas for the least-squares estimates of β1 and β2 in terms of the simple statistics

8. Suppose that grades on a midterm and final have a correlation coefficient of 0.6 and both exams have an average score of 75. and a standard deviation of 10. ( a). If a student’s score on the midterm is 90 what would you predict her score on the final to be? ( b). If a student’s score on the final was 75, what would you guess that his score was on the midterm? ( c). Consider all students scoring at the 75th percentile or higher on the midterm. What proportion of these students would you expect to be at or above the 75th percentile of the final? ( i) 75%, (ii) 50%, (iii) less than 50%, or (iv) more than 50%. Justify your answers. Exercise - 3
