Essay

Given below are five observations collected in a regression study on two variables, x (independent variable) and y (dependent variable). $$\begin{array} { l l } \boldsymbol { x } & \boldsymbol { y } \\2 & 4 \\3 & 4 \\4 & 3 \\5 & 2 \\6 & 1\end{array}$$ ​
a.
Develop the least squares estimated regression equation.
b.
At the .05 level of significance, perform a t test and determine whether or not the slope is significantly different from zero.
c.
Perform an F test to determine whether or not the model is significant. Let α = .05.
d.
Compute the coefficient of determination.
e.
Compute the coefficient of correlation.

Definitions:

Active Transport

The movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration, requiring energy.

Membrane Proteins

Proteins that are found within, or attached to, the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, playing various roles in cellular functions such as transport, signal transduction, and cell recognition.

Multicellular Organisms

Organisms composed of many cells that are specialized to perform different functions, contributing to the organism's survival and functioning.

Plasmolysis

The process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution, causing the plasma membrane to pull away from the cell wall.
