Figure shows three residual plots and a normal probability plot of residuals. For each part, decide whether the graph suggests a violation of one or more of the assumptions for regression inferences. Explain your answers.

Short Answer

Expert verified

- The assumption of equal standard deviations is violated in FIGURE (a).

- The assumption of equal standard deviations is violated in FIGURE (b).

- The assumption of equal standard deviations is not violated in FIGURE (c).

- The assumption of linearity is violated in FIGURE (d).

All the points are explained as the graph suggests a violation of one or more of the assumptions for regression inferences.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

02

Explanation

The following assumptions are made for regression inferences: Population regression line:

The conditional mean of the response variable (Y)isβ0+β1X/30+fix.. For each Xvalue of the predictor variable.

Standard deviation is the same;

The response variable's standard deviation(Y)is the same as the explanatory variable's standard deviation (X). The standard deviation is denoted by the symbol sigma.

Typical populations:

The response variable's distribution is normal.

Observations made independently:

The observations of the response variable are unrelated to one another.

03

conclusion

- It is clear from FIGURE (a) that the residuals do not fall within the horizontal band. As a result, the linearity assumption may be violated. Furthermore, the residual plot has more variation. Hence. The equality of standard deviations assumption is violated.

- It is clear from FIGURE (b) that the standard deviation is not constant. As a result, the assumption of equal standard deviations is broken.

- It is clear from FIGURE (c) that the residuals are in the horizontal band. As a result, the linearity assumption is not violated. Moreover. The standard deviation is fixed. Hence. The equality of standard deviations assumption is not violated.

- It is clear from FIGURE (d) that the residuals are in the curved pattern. As a result, linearity is assumed.

Based on a sample of data points, what is the best estimate of the population regression line?

In Exercises 14.12-14.21, we repeat the data and provide the sample regression equations for Exercises 4.48 -4.57.

a. Determine the standard error of the estimate.

b. Construct a residual plot.

c. Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals.

y^=1+2x

In Exercises 14.98-14.108, use the technology of your choice to do the following tasks.
a. Decide whether your can reasonably apply the conditional mean and predicted value t-interval procedures to the data. If so, then also do parts (b) - (h).
b. Determine and interpret a point estimate for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
c. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the conditional mean of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
d. Determine and interpret the predicted value of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
e. Find and interpret a 95% prediction interval for the value of the response variable corresponding to the specified value of the predictor variable.
f. Compare and discuss the differences between the confidence interval that you obtained in part (c) and the prediction interval that you obtained in part (e).

14.103 High and Low Temperature. The data from Exercise 14.31for average high and low temperatures in January of a random sample, of 50cities are on the WeissStats site. Specified value of the predictor variable: 55°F.

Use the data on the Weiss Stats site for estriol levels of pregnant women and birth weights of their children referred to in Exercise 14.42.

In Exercises 14.48, we repeat the information from Exercises 14.12.

a. Decide, at the 10%significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that xis useful for predicting y:
