Prime - Linear Least Squares Regression
Ok, I am given the following data about a plant growing...
Days Height (m) 14 0.2 21 0.5 30 0.7 38 1.2 45 1.6 60 2.4 I am asked to calculate the growth rate in (m/day) based on linear least squares regression and this data. I can do it by hand, but want to do it on the calculator.....and am confused. The linear_regression() function says it returns 2 coefficiens for the line y=ax+b it returns a and b So I input the following: linear_regression( (14,.2),(21,.5),(30,.7),(38,1.2),(45,1.6),(60,2.4)) and i get a syntax error.....probably because I don't know how to enter a list....so i try entering it as: linear_regression( {14,.2},{21,.5},{30,.7},{38,1.2},{45,1.6},{60,2.4}) and get another syntax error the on-calculator help suggests linear_regression( [[14,.2],[21,.5],[30,.7],[38,1.2],[45,1.6],[60,2.4]]) but i don't see how to enter this format on the calculator....totally confused, and frustrated. Can someone please clue me in how to enter lists in a reasonably efficient manner? Thanks in advance. Paul |
