The graph displays a residual plot that was constructed after running a least-squares regression on a set of bivariate numerical data $(x, y)$. What can you conclude from this graph? Choose 1 answer: A The slope of the least-squares regression line is 0. B The prediction errors generally decrease as $x$ increases. C When $x = 3$, the least squares regression equation underestimates $y$.

For a linear regression problem, the actual observed Y-value when x = 3 is Y = 11. The least squares line is Y = 2x + 3. The predicted value when x = 3 is 9. Determine the value of the residual (prediction error). Cannot be determined from the information given. Residual = 2 Residual = 11 Residual = 9

The equation of the least squares regression line for a set of points on a scatterplot is given by Å· = 1.3 + 0.27x. The point (3, 2) is a point on this scatterplot. Which of the following is the residual for the point (3, 2)?

Each graphing utility screen below shows the least squares regression line for a set of data. The equations and $r$ -values for the models are given. $$\begin{aligned} &y=0.68 x+2.7\\ &y=0.41 x+2.7\\ &y=-0.62 x+10.0\\ &r=0.973\\ &r=-0.986\\ &r=0.624 \end{aligned}$$ (a) Determine the equation and correlation coefficient $(r-\text { value })$ that represents each graph. Explain how you found your answers. (b) According to the correlation coefficients, which model is the best fit for its data? Explain.
