Least-squares regression line


Assignment:

Bivariate data obtained for the paired variables x and y are shown below, in the table labelled "Sample data." These data are plotted in the scatter plot in Figure 1, which also displays the least-squares regression line for the data. The equation for this line is y^ = 4.85+1.01x .

In the "Calculations" table are calculations involving the observed y values, the mean of these values, and the values predicted from the regression equation.

X    Y

225.2    240.3    1201.1770    63.9680    710.7556
245.2    232.8    209.0338    388.1688    1166.9056
255.8    279.7    14.0775    271.9861    162.3076
275.1    270.1    247.7791    271.9861    9.8595

Column Sums    3151.7005    41.9127    4069.4320

1) For the data point (255.8, 279.7), the value of the residual is: (Round you answer to at least 2 decimal places.)

2) The least-squares regression line given above is said to be a line which "best fits" the sample data. The term "best fits" is used because the line has an equation that minimizes the _total sum of squares or regression sum of squares or error sum of squares (choose one), which for these data is __3151.7005, 924.827, 4069.4320. (choose one)

3) The value r2 is the proportion of the total variation is the sample y values that is explained by the estimated linear relationship between x and y. For these data, the value of r2 is:

4) The total variation is the sample y values is given by the _total sum of squares or regression sum of squares or error sum of squares, (choose one) which for these data is __3151.7005, 924.827, 4069.4320 (choose one).
