Gender Equality Regression 813517
1. **Stating the problem:** We have data on the number of gender equality training sessions attended ($x$) and the corresponding gender equality attitude scores ($y$) for six employees. We want to present a scatter plot, compute the correlation coefficient $r$, and find the regression line equation.
2. **Data points:**
$$
(1,68), (2,71), (2,70), (3,75), (4,77), (5,80)
$$
3. **Formula for correlation coefficient $r$:**
$$
r = \frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sum y}{\sqrt{(n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2)(n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2)}}
$$
where $n$ is the number of data points.
4. **Calculate sums:**
$$
\sum x = 1+2+2+3+4+5 = 17
$$
$$
\sum y = 68+71+70+75+77+80 = 441
$$
$$
\sum xy = (1)(68)+(2)(71)+(2)(70)+(3)(75)+(4)(77)+(5)(80) = 68+142+140+225+308+400 = 1283
$$
$$
\sum x^2 = 1^2+2^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2 = 1+4+4+9+16+25 = 59
$$
$$
\sum y^2 = 68^2+71^2+70^2+75^2+77^2+80^2 = 4624+5041+4900+5625+5929+6400 = 32519
$$
5. **Calculate numerator and denominator for $r$:**
$$
n\sum xy - \sum x \sum y = 6(1283) - 17(441) = 7698 - 7497 = 201
$$
$$
\sqrt{(n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2)(n\sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2)} = \sqrt{6(59) - 17^2} \times \sqrt{6(32519) - 441^2}
$$
Calculate each part:
$$
6(59) - 289 = 354 - 289 = 65
$$
$$
6(32519) - 194481 = 195114 - 194481 = 633
$$
So denominator:
$$
\sqrt{65 \times 633} = \sqrt{41145} \approx 202.85
$$
6. **Correlation coefficient:**
$$
r = \frac{201}{202.85} \approx 0.991
$$
This indicates a very strong positive linear relationship.
7. **Equation of regression line:**
The regression line is:
$$
y = a + bx
$$
where
$$
b = \frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sum y}{n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2} = \frac{201}{65} \approx 3.092
$$
$$
a = \bar{y} - b\bar{x} = \frac{441}{6} - 3.092 \times \frac{17}{6} = 73.5 - 3.092 \times 2.833 = 73.5 - 8.76 = 64.74
$$
8. **Final regression line:**
$$
y = 64.74 + 3.092x
$$
This means for each additional training session attended, the equality score increases by about 3.092 points on average.
