Chapter 3, Problem R3.1RE

(a)

To determine

To describe the relationship shown in the scatterplot.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Thus, from the scatterplot we can say that:

Direction: Positive, because the scatterplot slopes upwards.

Form: Curved, because there is curvature present in the data.

Strength: Moderately strong, because the points are not very far apart, but are not extremely close either.

(b)

To determine

To explain what effect does this point have on the correlation, the regression line and the standard deviation of the residual.

(b)

Answer to Problem R3.1RE

Point A decreases the correlation, Point A will not have a drastic effect on slope, but will increase the y -intercept and Point A increases the standard deviation of the residuals.

Explanation of Solution

The point A is the hippopotamus.

Thus, Point A decreases the correlation since point A appears to be an outlier, it skews the data, thus decreasing the data set's correlation. Point A will not have a drastic effect on slope, but will increase the y -intercept. Since point A is close to x but far from y , it will not have much effect on the slope. However, for this same reason, it will increase the y-intercept. Point A increases the standard deviation of the residuals. This is because point A has such a large residual.

(c)

To determine

To explain what effect does this point have on the correlation, the regression line and the standard deviation of the residual.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem R3.1RE

Point B increases the correlation and does not affect the regression line and the standard deviation.

Explanation of Solution

Point B is an Asian elephant.

Thus, the point B lies in the extension of the pattern in most of the points in the scatterplot and thus point B lies roughly near the regression line and will increase the correlation. Moreover, it will not affect the regression line. And the observed y -values is roughly the same as the predicted value so the standard deviation will also be not affected by the point B.
