This question is related to questions 4 and 21 above. The relationship between number of beers consumed (x) and blood alcohol content (y) was studied in 16 male college students by using least squares regression. The following regression equation was obtained from this study: $$$ \hat{y} = -0.0127 + 0.0180x$$ Another guy, his name Dudley, has the regression equation written on a scrap of paper in his pocket. Dudley goes out drinking and has 4 beers. He calculates that he is under the legal limit (0.08) so he decides to drive to another bar. Unfortunately Dudley gets pulled over and confidently submits to a road-side blood alcohol test. He scores a blood alcohol of 0.085 and gets himself arrested. Obviously, Dudley skipped the lecture about residual variation. Dudley’s residual is:
Suppose that you have carried out a regression analysis where the total variance in the response is 133452 and the correlation coefficient was 0.85. The residual sums of squares is:
When the error terms have a constant variance, a plot of the residuals versus the independent variable x has a pattern that
