Regarding analysis of residuals, decide in each case which assumption for regression inferences may be violated. a. Aresidual plot—that is, a plot of the residuals against the observed values of the predictor variable—shows curvature. b. A residual plot becomes wider with increasing values of the predictor variable. c. A normal probability plot of the residuals shows extreme curvature. d. A normal probability plot of the residuals shows outliers but is otherwise roughly linear.

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
For the residual plot of the residuals versus predicted values from a multiple regression analysis given below, which of the following statements is(are) true? Attached image is the residual plot of the residuals versus predicted values. Choose the correct answer below. A.)The condition that a linear relationship exists between the response and each explanatory variable may not be met since the spread in the residuals is larger for larger predicted values than for smaller predicted values. B.)The condition that the residuals have constant variation may not be met since the spread in the residuals is larger for larger predicted values than for smaller predicted values. C.)The condition that the residuals are normally distributed may not be met since the spread in the residuals is larger for larger predicted values than for smaller predicted values. D).None of the above
Which of the following is not a formal condition for inference about a regression estimate? Sampling independence of bivariate observations Linearity between variables X and Y Normality in the distribution of residuals Heteroscedasticity between X and Y variables
2) Attached to the end is a scatterplot of predicted by residual values fora simple linear regression analysis. Use this plot to comment briefly on the validity of theassumptions of linearity, independence, normality, and homogeneity of variance for this simplelinear regression analysis. 3) If you are planning a research study in which x values are predetermined, and then yvalues are measured in order to perform a simple linear regression analysis, would the standarderror of the slope estimate in the model yi = B0 + B1xi + ei be lower by placing the x valuesrelatively close together, or far apart? Briefly explain. (Hint: look at the formula for thestandard error of the slope)
With regard to regression, which of the following statements about outliers are true? I. Outliers have large residuals. II. A point may not be an INFLUENTIALoutlier even though its x-value is an outlier in the x-variable and its y-value is an outlier in the y-variable. III. Removal of an outlier sharply affects the regression line. II and III I, II, and III I and II I and III I only ( don't hand writing solution)
The accompanying table lists systolic blood pressures (mm Hg) and diastolic blood pressures (mm Hg) of adult females. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) prediction interval for a systolic blood pressure of 118 mm Hg using a 99% confidence level. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions.

In the above plot, a rejection of the null hypothesis that the population regression slope is equal to 0 implies: a) the correlation coefficient in the population is likely equal to 0 b) the correlation coefficient in the population is likely unequal to 0 c) the standard deviation of height is likely very large d) the standard deviation of weightis likely very small e) the correlation coefficient must be close to 1.0 f) a and c g) b and e h) b, d and e
Which of the following is NOT a plot of residuals typically used in multiple regression analysis with two independent variables (X1 and X2)? Select one: a. Residuals versus X2. b. Residuals versus correlation coefficients. c. Residuals versus time. d. Residuals versus X1.
A paper suggests that the simple linear regression model is reasonable for describing the relationship between y = eggshell thickness (in micrometers, µm) and x = egg length (mm) for quail eggs. Suppose that the population regression line is y = 0.185 + 0.007x and that ?e = 0.005. Then, for a fixed x value, y has a normal distribution with mean 0.185 + 0.007x and standard deviation 0.005. (You may need to use a table.) b)What is the probability that a quail egg with a length of 15 mm will have a shell thickness that is greater than 0.29 µm? (c)Approximately what proportion of quail eggs of length 14 mm have a shell thickness of greater than 0.281? (Hint: The distribution of y at a fixed x is approximately normal. Round your answer to four decimal places.) Approximately what proportion of quail eggs of length 14 mm have a shell thickness of less than 0.286? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Explain Which of the following statements are true about studentized residuals? They are the deviations of the observed values from the fitted line. They're closely related to the errors of prediction of the observation. Large studentized residuals will lead to large influence on the regression model in all circumstances
