Understand why

↗

The regression line must pass through the point (3,4) because this point represents the intersection of the sample means of the independent and dependent variables, (xˉ,yˉ)(\bar{x}, \bar{y}). The video states as a general property that all regression lines have to go through the point where the mean of the independent variable and the mean of the dependent variable cross.

Conditions: The data set has a computed mean for x, xˉ=3\bar{x}=3.; The data set has a computed mean for y, yˉ=4\bar{y}=4.; The context is simple linear regression.

Find a method

↗

The y-deviations are calculated by subtracting the sample mean of the y-values, yˉ=4\bar{y}=4, from each individual y observation in the table. This produces a column of signed deviations measuring how far each point lies above or below the horizontal mean line.

Conditions: The y-values in the table are 2, 4, 5, 4, and 5.; The sample mean yˉ\bar{y} has been computed as 4.

The intercept b0b_0 is calculated by substituting the mean point (xˉ,yˉ)(\bar{x}, \bar{y}) and the known slope b1b_1 into the regression equation y^=b0+b1x\hat{y} = b_0 + b_1x, and then solving algebraically for b0b_0. In the example, substituting x=3x=3, y^=4\hat{y}=4, and b1=0.6b_1=0.6 yields 4=b0+0.6(3)4 = b_0 + 0.6(3), which simplifies to b0=2.2b_0 = 2.2.

Conditions: The slope b1b_1 has already been computed.; The sample means xˉ\bar{x} and yˉ\bar{y} are known.; The regression line is assumed to pass through (xˉ,yˉ)(\bar{x}, \bar{y}).
