Software procedure:
Step by step procedure to get the output using MINITAB software is given as,
- Choose Stat > Regression > Regression > Fit Regression Model.
- Under Responses, enter the column of Speed.
- Under predictors, enter the columns of Density.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is given below:
Thus, the regression equation of linear model is
The fitted scatterplot of re-expressed data exhibits a linear pattern. Thus, there is a strong and negative linear association between speed and density of traffic.
The coefficient of determination (
In the given output,
Thus, the 96.7% of the variability in speed is explained by density using linear regression model.
The conditions for a residual plot that is well fitted for the data are,
- There should not any bend, which would violate the straight line condition.
- There must not any outlier.
- There should not any change in the spread of the residuals from one part to another part of the plot.
Residual plot:
Software procedure:
Step by step procedure to get the output using MINITAB software is given as,
- Choose Stat > Regression > Regression > Fit Regression Model.
- Under Responses, enter the column of Speed.
- Under Continuous predictors, enter the columns of Density.
- In Graphs, under Residuals for plots choose Regular.
- Under Residuals plots choose Individuals plots and select box of Residuals versus fits.
- Click OK.
Output using MINITAB software is given below:
In residual plot, there is no bend or pattern, which can violate the straight line condition and there is no change in the spread of the residuals from one part to another part of the plot.
Thus, a linear model is appropriated.
c.
Find the residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 56 cars/mile and 32.5 mph, respectively.
Find the residual of another traffic, having density and observed speed of 20 cars/mile and 36.1 mph, respectively.
c.

Answer to Problem 4E
The residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 56 cars/mile and 32.5 mph, respectively is 1.65 mph and the residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 20 cars/mile and 36.1 mph, respectively is –7.36 mph.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Assume x be the predictor variable and y be the response variable, of a
Residual:
The residual is defined as
If the observed value is less than predicted value then the residual will be negative and if the observed value is greater than predicted value then the residual will be positive.
From the previous part b. it is found that the regression equation of linear model is
The predicted speed of a traffic having density of 56 cars/mile is,
Thus, the predicted speed of a traffic having density of 56 cars/mile is 30.8532 mph.
It is known, that actual speed of a traffic having density of 56 cars/mile is 32.5 mph.
The value of the residual is,
Thus, the residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 56 cars/mile and 32.5 mph, respectively is 1.65 mph.
The predicted speed of a traffic having density of 20 cars/mile is,
Thus, the predicted speed of a traffic having density of 20 cars/mile is 43.46 mph.
It is known, that actual speed of a traffic having density of 20 cars/mile is 36.1 mph.
The value of the residual is,
Thus, the residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 20 cars/mile and 36.1 mph, respectively is –7.36 mph.
d.
Find the unusual residual.
d.

Answer to Problem 4E
Second residual is more unusual residual.
Explanation of Solution
From previous part c. it is found that residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 56 cars/mile and 32.5 mph, respectively is 1.65 mph and the residual of a traffic, having density and observed speed of 20 cars/mile and 36.1 mph, respectively is –7.36 mph.
Thus, it is clear that the second residual value is far away from the predicted value. Therefore, second residual is more unusual residual.
e.
Explain about slope and the
e.

Explanation of Solution
The new point
In another words, shallower slope and weaker correlation are closer to 0 as they are both started as negative quantity.
Thus, technically slope and correlation becomes higher.
f.
Predict the speed of traffic for a density of 200 cars/mile.
Explain whether the prediction is reasonable.
f.

Answer to Problem 4E
The predicted speed of a traffic having density of 200 cars/mile is –19.6 mph.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The predicted speed of a traffic having density of 200 cars/mile is,
Thus, the predicted speed of a traffic having density of 200 cars/mile is –19.6 mph.
This result is not meaningful as the value of the speed comes as negative quantity, which cannot be possible. Moreover, the given car density of 200 cars/mile is far beyond from the observed values.
Thus, the prediction is not reasonable.

Thus, the correlation confident for speed and density is –0.984.
It is known that, the slope
