True or false (Explain why!): When a regression suffers from omitted variable bias, the residuals will not sum to zero.
Madhur L.
True or false II If false, explain briefly. a) Some of the residuals from a least squares linear model will be positive and some will be negative. b) Least Squares means that some of the squares of the residuals are minimized. c) We write $\hat{y}$ to denote the predicted values and y to denote the observed values.

Linear Regression
True or false If false, explain briefly. a) We choose the linear model that passes through the most data points on the scatterplot. b) The residuals are the observed y-values minus the y-values predicted by the linear model. c) Least squares means that the square of the largest residual is as small as it could possibly be.
