Breaking Bad

The document discusses using a multiple regression analysis to model the relationship between ratings of Breaking Bad Season 5 (dependent variable) and two independent variables: number of episodes watched and viewer's age. An example data set is provided and hypothetical coefficients are assumed to demonstrate how a multiple regression equation would be formed. The equation suggests the expected rating when both independent variables are zero as well as how to calculate the expected rating given values for the number of episodes watched and viewer's age.

The Series I have chosen is Breaking Bad, Specifically Season 5

Breaking Bad is a television series that falls under the crime drama genre. It revolves around the

story of a high school chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine manufacturer and his

involvement in the criminal underworld.

To construct a regression equation, we need multiple data , therefore

Let assume:

 Y = Rating of Breaking Bad series season 5 (dependent variable)

 X1 = Number of episodes watched (first independent variable)

 X2 = Viewer's age (second independent variable)

The multiple regression equation for this would be:

Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + ε

where:

 β0 is the intercept, which represents the expected rating of Breaking Bad series season 5

when both X1 and X2 are zero

 β1 is the coefficient for X1, which represents the change in the expected rating for each

unit change in X1, holding X2 constant

 β2 is the coefficient for X2, which represents the change in the expected rating for each

unit change in X2, holding X1 constant

 ε represents the error term, which captures the unexplained variation in Y that is not

accounted for by the regression model


Data is collected:

An hypothetical sample table is ( an example)

RATING (Y) NO OF EPISODES AGE (X2)

WATCHED (X1)

4.0 10 24

4.2 8 33

4.5 12 16

3.9 4 23

4.1 7 22

4.4 7 56

4.0 2 21

4.3 10 19

Lets assume the co-efficients

Assuming the coefficients are:

 β0 = 2.5 (intercept)

 β1 = 0.3 (coefficient for Number of episodes watched)

 β2 = -0.1 (coefficient for Viewer's age)


The multiple regression equation would be:

Y = 2.5 + 0.3X1 - 0.1X2 + ε

So, this suggests that

This equation suggests that the expected rating of Breaking Bad series season 5 would be 2.5

when both the Number of episodes watched (X1) and the Viewer's age (X2) are zero, which is

not possible.

So from the data sample

 Number of episodes watched (X1) = 10

 Viewer's age (X2) = 24

And the corresponding rating of the Breaking Bad series season 5 (Y) is 4.0.

The multiple regression equation would be:

Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + ε

therefore

Y = β0 + β1(10) + β2(24) + ε
