1. Chapter 2 Exercise 2 a. Equation given: Y = A+ BW + E, where A =2.86 and B=0.0. Y would be the homicide rate (as it is the dependent variable) and W would be urbanization (as it is the independent variable—what might actually cause a change in homicide rate). So we plug in the various values for urbanization and get the predicted homicide rate. To find the error we subtract the observed minus the predicted values. State Homicide Rate Urbanization Predicted Homicide Rate Error Georgia 7.6 71.6 4.7216 2.8784 Maryland 9.5 86.1 5.0986 4.4014 New Jersey 4.7 94.4 5.3144 -0.6144 South Carolina 4.2 60.5 4.433 -0.233 Wyoming 2.8 65.1 4.5526 -1.7526
