Question 145859: Please, help me with these questions, Thanks.
1. Nancy Giggles has not been doing well on statistics examinations. She decides to sample 12 of her friends to determine the number of hours spent studying for Test 3 and the score out of 100 received on that test. The results:

(i) Find the equation of the regression line using the least square technique. Interpret the meanings conveyed by the regression equation.
(ii) Compute the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of Determination. Interpret these values.
2. David Gallano, a wine merchant, has selected opinions on grape wine quality from a random sample of his customers. The customers tasted wine made from grapes grown in three regions of the country. The customers rated wine quality on a scale of 1 (best) to 4 (worst). The sample data looks like:
Customer Quality Rating of Wine by Grape-growing region

David wants to know whether quality ratings are independent of the grape-growing region. Can you conclude at a 95% confidence that the quality rating is independent of the growing region?

(i) Find the equation of the regression line using the least square technique. Interpret the meanings conveyed by the regression equation.
test score = 1.1128(hrs of study) + 48.35..
--------------------------
(ii) Compute the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of Determination. Interpret these values.
-----------------------------
r = 0.918168...
r is a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between the variables.
-----------------------------
r^2 = 0.8430...
84.3% of the variability in the test scores is explained by the regression equation.

Ho: they are independent
Ha: they are dependent
-------------
I ran a Chi-Sq on the 4 x 3 set of data and got the following results:
Chi-Sq = 14.9760...
p-value = 0.02044...
-----------
Conclusion: Since p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The quality rating and growing region are dependent variables.
