- Under X variables, enter a column of x.
- Click OK.
Observation:
The scatterplot shows that the predicted values are passed through the regression line of the model. Moreover, there is outlier that appears in the x and y directions for the data set A, B, and C. Also, the scatterplot for the data set D shows that the most of the points are plotted around 8.

(c)
Answer to Problem 5.42E
The data set A would use the regression line to describe the dependence of y on x.
Explanation of Solution
From the scatterplots for all data sets, it can be observed that the points for data set A are scattered around the straight line when compared to the other data sets. Hence, the data set A would use the regression line to describe the dependence of y on x.
