a) What is the R? What type of relationship does it indicate (strong/weak; positive/negative)?
b) Go to the coefficients readout. The constant is the intercept. Under that is the ACT and that is the slope. Using the straight line formula of Y = mx + b, which you will find on page 262, you will now predict some future GPA scores: In the formula (m) is the slope; (x) is the variable that you are looking to use as a predictor; and (b) is the intercept. Predict GPA from the following ACT scores using the regression equation/straight line formula (show all your work):
1) 20
2) 25
3) 34
