For each of the four sets of data given below (Anscombe.1973), plot y verses x. The data are given in the file Anscombe. Fit a straight line to each of the data sets giving least squares estimates, ANOVA table, and R squared. Compute the correlation coefficient between y and x for each data set. Comment on your results. Would a linear regression of y on x be appropriate in all cases? Discuss.
