a) State the random variables.

     rv X =         of        

     rv Y =         of        

b) Make a scatterplot of X versus Y in StatCrunch (optional). Why do we wish to sketch a scatterplot?

   



c) Find the equation of the best-fitting line (the least squares regression equation).  

 

    Round values to 2 decimal places.  

    Include the restricted domain.

       equation:               =  +  * X

       restricted domain:  % <= X <=  %


d) Interpret the slope from part c in the context of this problem. (Pay attention to the units)

  • Every time we increase         by   we can expect         to     by   on average.


e) Interpret the Y-intercept from part c in the context of this problem. Include units.

  • When       is  , we expect         to be  


     Does it make sense to interpret the Y-intercept on this problem?

     Why or why not?          

f) Should you use the regression equation to predict the income of a randomly selected European country that has a percent of labor in agriculture of 49 %?

         

    Should you use the regression equation to predict the income of a randomly selected European country that has a percent of labor in agriculture of 120 %?

         

     Looking at your answers above, predict the income for the one above that it made sense to do so.

     Make sure you use the stored equation and not the rounded equation from part c.  

     Round final answer to 2 decimal places.

  • The predicted income for a randomly selected European country that has a percent of labor in agriculture of  % is  


g) Compute the residual for the following ordered pair in the data: (20, 977).

     Make sure you use the stored equation and not the rounded equation from part c.

     Round final answer to 2 decimal places.

     The residual for the European country with a percent of labor in agriculture of 20 % is  

     Interpret what this value means in the context of this problem.

  • The actual income of a randomly selected European country with a percent of labor in agriculture of 20 % is       what was predicted.
