Explanation
A sociology professor believed there was a positive relationship between yearly income and miles traveled for
pleasure per year. She wished to develop an equation that would permit the prediction of miles traveled while
only looking at an individual’s yearly income. The professor had access to a random sample that consisted of
24 cases. She decided to give the work to her favorite graduate student – you! Can you do the analysis for
her? Write the regression equation and use it to predict the number of miles traveled for an individual who
earns $76,000.
Research Question: Can miles traveled for pleasure per year be predicted by yearly income?
Answer the following questions and explain
Are the assumptions met?
Assumption of Linearity
Assumption of Normality
Assumption of Outliers
