In Exercises 14.34-14.43, use the technology of your choice to
a. obtain and interpret the standard error of the estimate.
b. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals.
c. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptions I-3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.

14.41 Gas Guzzlers. The magazine Consumer Reports publishes information on automobile gas mileage and variables that affect gas mileage. In one issue, data on gas mileage (in mpg) and engine displacement (in liters, L) were published for 121 vehicles. Those data are stored on the WeissStats site.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The standard error of estimate is 139.012.

(b) The points closely resemble the normal probability plot that obtained from the residual plot and the normal probability plot of the residuals.
(c) For regression inferences, there is no violation of assumption 1-3.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

To obtain the standard error of the estimate and interpret.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

A sample of residences in a certain area's lot sizes and assessed values are provided.
The Residual as follows:
The error is described as e=y^-y, where y^is the projected response variable value and y is the actual response variable value.
The standard error of estimate is calculate as follows:
The standard error of estimation for a collection of nobservations is given as:

Se=SSEn-2
where SSE stands for squared error sum
Then the Residual plot will be computed as follows:

As a result, the standard error of estimate is 139.012.
It is estimated that the projected values deviate by 139.012on average from the observed values.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

To obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Obtain the residual plot of the residuals by using MINITAB as follows:

The output will be:

The residuals, or values of e, corresponding to the values of x are plotted on the graph .
The normal probability plot of the residuals by using MINITAB as follows:

The points closely resemble the normal probability plot.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

To consider AssumptionsI-3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Let, assumption for regression inferences as follows:

  • Population regression line: There are constants β0and β1such that the conditional mean of the response variable (y)is β0+β1xfor each value of the predictor variable (x).
  • Equal standard deviation: The response variable (y)has the same conditional standard deviation (σ)for all values of the predictor variable(x).
  • For any value of the predictor variable (x), the conditional distribution of the response variable (y)is a normal distribution.
  • Independent observations: The responses variable's observations are independent to one another.

Let, the assumption for residual analysis for the regression model is considered as follows:

  • The residuals should fall roughly in a horizontal band centered and symmetric about the x-axis when plotted against the recorded values of the predictor variable.
  • The residuals in a normal probability plot should be nearly linear.

For the given sample, it is feasible to consider the assumptions for regression inferences met for the variables value and lot size.
The residuals fall roughly into a horizontal band that is centered and symmetric about the x-axis on the normal probability plot, which is slightly linear.
As a result, for regression inferences, there is no violation of assumption 1-3.
