Concept explainers
True or false If false, explain briefly.
- a) We choose the linear model that passes through the most data points on the
scatterplot . - b) The residuals are the observed y-values minus the y-values predicted by the linear model.
- c) Least squares means that the square of the largest residual is as small as it could possibly be.
a.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Find whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1E
The given statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The linear model, which passes through the most data points on the scatterplot, are chosen.
Justification:
If the line passes through the most data points on the then that line won’t be straight line. The line touches some of the points or none of the points, but it minimize the sum of least squares.
Thus, the given statement is false.
The conditions for a scatterplot that is well fitted for the data are,
- Straight Enough Condition: The relationship between y and x straight enough to proceed with a linear regression model.
- Outlier Condition: No outlier must be there which influences the fit of the least square line.
- Thickness Condition: The spread of the data around the generally straight relationship seem to be consistent for all values of predictor variable.
b.

Find whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1E
The given statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The residuals are the observed y-values minus the predicted y-values by the linear model.
Justification:
The residual gives the difference between the observed value of the response variable and that of the predicted value.
Thus, the given statement is true.
Residual:
The residual is defined as
c.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Find whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1E
The given statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Least square defines the square of the largest residual is as small as it could possibly be.
Justification:
A least square criterion defines the unique line that minimize the variance of residuals or sum of squared of the residuals. It does not imply to minimize the largest residual is as small as it could possibly be.
Thus, the given statement is false.
Least-square criterion:
The least-square criterion is of a regression line that the best fits of a set of data points having the smallest possible sum of squares.

- Find the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardCellular Phone Subscribers The table shows the numbers of cellular phone subscribers y in millions in the United States from 2008 through 2013.

Let x represent the year, with x=8 corresponding to 2008. (b) Use the linear regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. How does this model compare with the model obtained in part a? (c) Use the linear model to create a table of estimated values for y. Compare the estimated values with the actual data.arrow_forward
