Question

The Veterinary Pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug that is touted to enhance a dog's ability to resist the temptation to have an "accident in the house." It is a very safe drug and has already been proven to cause no harm to the dog. We want to know whether or not it actually works and gather the following data. Let x = % of drug in the dog's blood stream and y= number of hours the dog can resist the temptation to have an accident in the house. Hopefully you got these values: x = 24 y = 33 n=7 SS = 33.714 SSxy=44.86 B-1.33 Calculate the intercept

Answer 1

The solution to this problem is given by

Solution Given data is Exi= gu Soon 33.714 Eyi = 33, n= iSSay = 44.86, B, = 1:33 = Noul x= {xi = gul h Y n Intercept Ey 33 ㅋ Bo=y-Box 33 – 1:33 x 24 - - 33 7 031542857 Intercopt 0.1542857 0.1543
