Oil and residuals Refer to Exercise . The following figure shows a residual plot for the least-squares regression line. Discuss what the residual plot tells

Short Answer
The regression line is not a good fit for the data.

To determine the least-squares regression line:

Penguins diving A study of king penguins looked for a relationship between how deep the penguins dive to seek food and how long they stay underwater. For all but the shallowest dives, there is a linear relationship that is different for different penguins. The study gives a scatterplot for
one penguin titled 鈥淭he Relation of Dive Duration to Depth 鈥 Duration y is measured in minutes and depth x is in meters. The report then says, 鈥淭he regression equation for this bird is:
(a) What is the slope of the regression line? Explain in specific language what this value says about this penguin鈥檚 dives.
(b) According to the regression line, how long does a typical dive to a depth of meters last?
(c) Does the intercept of the regression line make any sense? If so, interpret it. If not, explain why not.
The slope of the line in the figure above is closest to

Strong association but no correlation The gas mileage of an automobile first increases and then decreases as the speed increases. Suppose that this relationship is very regular, as shown by the following data on speed (miles per hour) and mileage (miles per gallon). Make a scatterplot of mileage versus speed.

The correlation between speed and mileage is. Explain why the correlation is 0 even though there is a strong relationship between speed and mileage.
