Construct and Describe the Scatterplot for this data.
Find the Least Square Regression Line. Interpret the slope and y-intercept.
Interpret R2

2. RESIDUALS (also called Errors)
The vertical distances from the observed y values and the predicted y on the line are called Residuals.
Residual = Observed y – Predicted y Value Residual =

3. Calculating Residuals
Find the Residuals for each of the three values. x y 2 50 3 48 5 30 52 -2 45 3 31 -1

4. Why do we want to calculate Residuals?????
A Residual Plot is a scatter plot where the Residual values are on the y-axis and are plotted against the explanatory variable x (or ). Used to determine if the model (the equation) fits the data. Used to determine if the model is appropriate.

5. A Residual Plot that reveals NO Pattern signifies that the model is a GOOD FIT.
A Residual Plot that reveals any Pattern signifies that the model should NOT be used for the data.
Random scattered points. The Linear Equation is a Good Model.
A Pattern is Observed. The Linear Equation is NOT a good Model.
Increasing Pattern. The line is NOT a good Model for all the data.

6. Fast food is often considered unhealthy because of the amount of fat and calories in it. Does the amount of Fat content contribute to the number of calories a food product contains?

17. Does adding a fuel additive help gasoline mileage in automobiles?
Use Linear Regression to analyze the following data:
Amount of STP fuel additive added to the gas tank (in ounces) = x Recorded gas mileage = y
1. Graph the Scatterplot Describe the direction, form and strength.
2. Find the Residuals for all 10 points. Plot them & interpret them.
3. Find the Least Squares Regression Line. In contents to the problem, interpret the meaning of ‘y-int’ and ‘slope’.
4. What is the regression line Correlation Coefficient value? What does this value indicate in relation to the data?
5. What is the Coefficient of Determination value? What does this value indicate in relation to the data?
6. Predict the gas mileage after adding 15 ounces of fuel additive.

18. Regression model:
Regression model: Gas Milage = (Add.)
Residual plot:
Residual plot: The scatter plot depicts a random scatter of points = the model FITS the data well
Slope:
Slope: For every additional ounce of Additive the model predicts an additional miles per gallon.
y-intercept:
y-intercept: If the tank contained NO Gas Additive the car would still get mpg.
Correlation:
Correlation: r = Very strong positive linear relationship.
R2:
R2: 91.8% of the variation in the predicted gas milage is attributed by the amount of additive added to the tank.

19. WARM-UP
Is there an association between how much a baseball team pays its players (Average in millions) and the team winning percentage? Find AND interpret r and R2 .
Team Average Win PCT
N.Y. Yankees
Boston
Texas
Arizona
Los Angeles
New York Mets
Atlanta
Seattle

Toronto
Chicago Cubs
St. Louis

ŷ = x
r = R2 = 9.8%

20. R-Sq. = = 9.8%
9.8% of the variation in the predicted values of Winning Percent is attributed to the salaries of the players % of that variation is attributed by other factors.

21. 1. Graph the Scatterplot Describe the direction, form and strength.
2. Find the Residuals for all 10 points. Plot them & interpret them.
3. Find the Least Squares Regression Line. In contents to the problem, interpret the meaning of ‘a’ and ‘b’.
4. What is the regression line Correlation Coefficient value? What does this value indicate in relation to the data?
