TypeConvert regression equation between coded and original

  1. Sammy is studying the number of units of gas, \(g\), and the number of units of electricity, \(e\), used in her house each week. A random sample of 10 weeks use was recorded and the data for each week were coded so that \(x = \frac { g - 60 } { 4 }\) and \(y = \frac { e } { 10 }\). The results for the coded data are summarised below
$$\sum x = 48.0 \quad \sum y = 58.0 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { x x } = 312.1 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { y y } = 2.10 \quad \mathrm {~S} _ { x y } = 18.35$$
  1. Find the equation of the regression line of \(y\) on \(x\) in the form \(y = a + b x\). Give the values of \(a\) and \(b\) correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Hence find the equation of the regression line of \(e\) on \(g\) in the form \(e = c + d g\). Give the values of \(c\) and \(d\) correct to 2 significant figures.
  3. Use your regression equation to estimate the number of units of electricity used in a week when 100 units of gas were used.
    (a)Find the probability distribution of \(X\) .
    (b)Write down the value of \(\mathrm { F } ( 1.8 )\) .
