CCP403.22 1
Objectives

On completion of the period, you would be

able to:

 Explain Regression lines

 Explain Regression equations
 draw regression lines

CCP403.22 2
 Recap

In the last class we discussed about

 Classification of Regression Analysis
 Differences between Correlation and Regression

CCP403.22 3
Regression Lines

 A graphic technique
 Average relationship between two variables
 One is dependent variable and the other is
independent variable
 It gives average estimated value of unknown
variable

CCP403.22 4
Regression Equations

Algebraic expressions of Regression Lines

Regression lines are based on Regression
Equations
There are two Regression Equations as
there are two regression lines
Regression equation of X on Y
Regression equation of Y on X

CCP403.22 5
Methods of drawing regression lines

Free hand curve method or scatter

diagram method.
The method of least squares

NOTE: Detailed study of drawing Regression Lines is not necessary as per curriculum

CCP403.22 6
Free hand curve method

 A trend is determined by just inspecting the plotted

points on a graph sheet.
 Observe the up and down movements of the points
 Draw a freehand curve or line through the scatter
points.
 The curve would give a general notion of the
direction of the change.

CCP403.22 7
 Example

Draw a scatter diagram relating to the following data

and fit by free hand curve method
