Question

Suppose a researcher wants to evaluate the effect of cholesterol on the blood pressure. The following data on serum cholesterol (in mg/dL) and systolic blood pressure (in mm/Hg) were obtained for 15 patients to explore the relationship between cholesterol and blood pressure:

S.NO. Cholesterol (mg/dL) SBP (mm/Hg)
1 300 150
2 410 270
3 380 210
4 530 310
5 570 350
6 490 310
7 340 210
8 320 150
9 280 110
10 550 320
11 340 220
12 350 170
13 410 260
14 390 230
15 450 270

 (i) Fit a linear regression model using the method of least squares.

(ii) Construct the normal probability plot for the regression model fitted on serum cholesterol and systolic blood pressure.

(iii) Test the significance of the fitted regression model.

(i) Fit a linear regression model using the method of least squares.

Given data:
Cholesterol levels (x): 300, 410, 380, 530, 570, 490, 340, 320, 280, 550, 340, 350, 410, 390, 450
Systolic blood pressures (y): 150, 270, 210, 310, 350, 310, 210, 150, 110, 320, 220, 170, 260, 230, 270

Step 1: Calculate the sample means of cholesterol levels (x_bar) and systolic blood pressures (y_bar).
x_bar = (300 + 410 + 380 + 530 + 570 + 490 + 340 + 320 + 280 + 550 + 340 + 350 + 410 + 390 + 450) / 15 = 413.3333

y_bar = (150 + 270 + 210 + 310 + 350 + 310 + 210 + 150 + 110 + 320 + 220 + 170 + 260 + 230 + 270) / 15 = 242.6667

Step 2: Calculate the slope (β1) and intercept (β0) using the formulas:
β1 = (Σ(xi - x_bar)(yi - y_bar)) / (Σ(xi - x_bar)^2)
β0 = y_bar - β1x_bar

Σ(xi - x_bar)(yi - y_bar) = (300 - 413.3333)(150 - 242.6667) + (410 - 413.3333)(270 - 242.6667) + ... + (450 - 413.3333)(270 - 242.6667)
                          = 38,968.8889

Σ(xi - x_bar)^2 = (300 - 413.3333)^2 + (410 - 413.3333)^2 + ... + (450 - 413.3333)^2
                 = 80,000

β1 = 38,968.8889 / 80,000 = 0.4846

β0 = 242.6667 - (0.4846)(413.3333) = 51.2769

Therefore, the fitted linear regression model is:
SBP = 51.2769 + 0.4846 × Cholesterol

(ii) Construct the normal probability plot for the regression model fitted on serum cholesterol and systolic blood pressure.

To construct the normal probability plot for the regression model fitted on serum cholesterol and systolic blood pressure, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the residuals (observed values - fitted values) and arrange them in ascending order.

Residuals:
150 - (51.2769 + 0.4846 × 300) = -94.2231
270 - (51.2769 + 0.4846 × 410) = 70.7231
210 - (51.2769 + 0.4846 × 380) = _______ __________ _____ _____ ___ _______ _________.
