Solution
a. What is the equation of the line of best fit for this problem?
Y = 43.625 + 1.6617X1
b. How strong is the relationship between the Period number and Patient Falls? Why did you reach that conclusion?
R = 0.7329
there is a strong relationship between the variables because R is greater than 0.5
c. Is this model statistically significant? Why?
yes, because p value is very low
d)
Y = 43.625 + 1.6617 * 17
Y = 71.87
