Directions: Read carefully. These questions pertain to residuals.
Questions 1-3 pertain to the chart at the left of residual plots..
1. Which of the residual plots indicates that a linear regression will be appropriate for the data it represents?
Choose:
2.Residual plot B tells you that the regression equation was a quadratic regression and that it is appropriate for the data.
Choose:
3. Residual plot C shows the pattern needed to ensure a good linear regression fit.
Choose:
4. The linear regression equation shown at the right is y = 4.7x + 51. The scatter plot at x = 5 is (5,90). What is the residual associated with the point where x = 5?
5.A rapidly growing bacteria has been discovered. Its growth rate is shown in the chart at the right.
