X= ? Y= 100
100= -1.505x+90.122
9.878= -1.505x
X= -6.563
We predict -6.563 pieces of pizza eaten with a
9.1% variation.
X= 3 Y= ?
Y= -1.505(3) +90.122
Y= 85.607
We predict an 85.607% grade with a 9.1%
variation.
Lurking Variables
A lurking variable is something unseen that
could change the result of all the data.
A lurking variable in our project could be the
people we interview lied about their grade
or how many pieces of pizza they ate.
Another lurking variable could be the
grades constantly changing.
Somebody could have a 93% when
interviewed, but it could have changed to
an 89% right afterwards.
Conclusion
If a person eats more slices of pizza, their
math grade will be higher.
Our hypothesis was incorrect, because the
regression line was negative and went down
instead and it was moderate with a -0.302.
The r2 tells that is 0.091 which makes the
survey invalid.
