Check whether the point boxed in blue in Figure 9-24 seems to lie away from the linear pattern determined by the other points.
Identify that point (15, 4) is an influential point or not.
Find the value of the correlation coefficient (r) and the value of the slope of the least-squares line (b) after removing point (15, 4).
Find the equation of the least-squares line (15, 4) and draw the line on the scatter diagram.
(c)
Check whether there is an influential point in Figure 9-25.
Check whether the new slope of the least-squares line (b) is larger or smaller than the slope of the line from the original data after removing the influential point.
Check whether the new correlation coefficient is larger or smaller than the correlation coefficient from the original data after removing the influential point.

- us the least-squares regression method to solve for accidents in May.arrow_forwardFor a class project, you measure the weight in grams (g) and the tail length in millimeters (mm) of a group of mice. The equation of the least-squares line for predicting tail length from weight is: predicted tail length = 19 + 5 (Weight) By looking at the equation for the regression line, what can you tell about the correlation between weight and tail length is?arrow_forwardSusan, a personal trainer, was interested in whether or not there was a linear relationship between the number of visits her clients made to the gym each week and the average amount of time her clients exercised per visit.

- The data in the table represent the weights of various domestic cars and their miles per gallon in the city for the 2008 model year. For these data, the least-squares regression line is y = - 0.006x + 41.337. A twelfth car weighs 3,425 pounds and gets 12 miles per gallon. (a) The coefficient of determination of the expanded data set is R = %. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Data Table How does the addition of the twelfth car to the data set affect R? Miles per Weight |(pounds), x A. It increases R. Gallon, y Car 1 3,771 22 B. It decreases R2. Car 2 3,990 19 C.
