Answer to Problem 74E
Solution: The following least-squares regression is a better measure of the relationship between the log count and the time.
Explanation of Solution
The differences (residuals) are both positive and negative values whereas for the regression line
all the differences (residuals) are extremely low negative values. Thus, the residual plots for the first regression line will lie both below and above the x-axis. Also, its predicted regression line will lie much near to the observed regression line. Whereas, the residual plots for the second regression line will lie only below the x-axis, indicating it to be not a much accurate measure. Also, with such low negative differences, the predicted regression line will lie far from the observed regression line. Hence, the first line better predicts the relationship between the variables log count and the time because it gives a better approximate value of the response variable.

Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.
