Textbook Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 30E
The article “Vital Dimensions in Volume Perception: Can the Eye Fool the Stomach?” (Journal of Marketing Research [1999]: 313–326) gave the accompanying data on the dimensions of 27 representative food products (Gerber baby food, Cheez Whiz, Skippy Peanut Butter, and Ahmed’s tandoori paste, to name a few).
- a. Fit the simple linear regression model that would allow prediction of the maximum width of a food container based on its minimum width.
- b. Calculate the standardized residuals (or just the residuals if a computer program that doesn’t give standardized residuals is used) and make a residual plot to determine whether there are any outliers.
- c. The data point with the largest residual is for a 1-liter Coke bottle. Delete this data point and determine the equation of the regression line. Did deletion of this point result in a large change in the equation of the estimated regression line?
- d. For the regression line of Part (c), interpret the estimated slope and, if appropriate, the intercept.
- e. For the data set with the Coke bottle deleted, are the assumptions of the simple linear regression model reasonable? Give statistical evidence.

Graph the regression line. with plotting of graph(b) Use the equation of the fitted line to predict what pavement deflection would be observed when the surface temperature is 85F.(c) What is the mean pavement deflection when the surface temperature is 90F?

- In a study of housing demand, the county assessor is interested in developing a regression model to estimate the market value (i.e., selling price) of residential property within his jurisdiction. The assessor feels that the most important variable affecting selling price (measured in thousands of dollars) is the size of house (measured in hundreds of square feet). He randomly selected 15 houses and measured both the selling price and size, as shown in the following table.
