The residuals from the least-squares line for the data given in the previous exercise are shown in the accompanying table.
- a. The observation (3928, 46.8) has a large residual. Is this data point also an influential observation?
- b. The two points with unusually large x values (19,504 and 20,440) were not thought to be influential observations even though they are far removed in the x direction from the rest of the points in the
scatterplot . Explain why these two points are not influential. - c. Partial Minitab output resulting from fitting the least-squares line is shown here. What is the value of se? Write a sentence interpreting this value.
The regression equation is
- d. What is the value of r2 for this data set (see Minitab output in Part (c))? Is the value of r2 large or small? Write a sentence interpreting the value of r2.
5.43 ● The relationship between x = Total number of salmon in a creek and y = Percentage of salmon killed by bears that were transported away from the stream prior to the bear eating the salmon was examined in the paper “Transportation of Pacific Salmon Carcasses from Streams to Riparian Forests by Bears” (Canadian Journal of Zoology [2009]: 195–203).
Data for the 10 years from 1999 to 2008 is given in the accompanying table.
- a. Construct a scatterplot of the data.
- b. Does there appear to be a relationship between the total number of salmon in the stream and the percentage of salmon killed by bears that are transported away from the stream?
- c. Find the equation of the least-squares line. Draw the least-squares line on the scatterplot from Part (a).

The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days?

- A retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value. Showing the calculation is a must.
