(Step-by-Step) The data below represent defense expenditure and total government expenditure for a sample of 7 countries. Defense Exp, x Total Exp, y 40 100 50


Question:

The data below represent defense expenditure and total government expenditure for a sample of 7 countries.

Defense Exp, x Total Exp, y
40 100
50 200
50 300
70 400
65 500
65 600
80 700
  1. Calculate the regression equation for Total expenditure (Y) as
    a function of Defense expenditure (X).
  2. Explain what the coefficients in the equation (i.e. \(a\) and \(b\) ) mean in terms of the variables.
  3. Calculate r and r—squared and explain what each means.
  4. You have total expenditure for two more countries. Estimate the defense expenditure for a country with a total expenditure of 350 and for a country with a total expenditure of 1,000 using the regression equation you found in part A.
  5. Which of the estimates in part D do you feel more confident in and why?
