/UESTI N 1 Differentiate between simple and multiple linear regression analysis. "ive your own e#ample to illustrate simple and multiple linear regression analysis. (5 M(r0)) /UESTI N 2 $t is noted that cost of petrol in %& per litre depends on percentage cost of refining' percentage of distribution and mar(eting' percentage of ta#es and percentage of crude oil. !se the given data to answer the following )uestions. *a+ $dentify the independent and dependent variables. (1 M(r0) *b+ Draw scatter plot with line of best fit for each of the variables and give your comments. (2 M(r0)) ,ased on the drawn scatter plots' perform the simple linear regression analysis which represents strongest association between the independent and dependent variables. *i+ Comment on correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. *ii+ -rite the e)uation of the simple linear regression model *iii+ predict the costs of petrol when the variable increase to ./0. *iv+ test for significance of regression at = /./1 . *v+ perform hypothesis testing for intercept at = /./ .
