Statzzzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill help if you become fan plzzzzzzz

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

it's not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i get medal

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

and I'll help you without you fanning me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i did lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill bet my moms a teacher in this stuff

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

let's take these choices one by one

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

do you know what an influential point is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she is smarten than youll ever be so shetup your gonna make her fail so leave you nerd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is a point that effects the regression line dramatically

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my mom is teacher

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

ok. What about the second choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i promise plz believe me

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

do you know what an outlier is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is a point that deviates from the general average of the data set, and has little to no effect on the slope of the regression line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she helps me she goes to aiken high south carolina searfch it up and search in staff jennifer harrison

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

ok. so an outlier, because it deviates from the general average of a data set, will drastically chance the correlation coefficient r, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

screw this when she fails ill laugh

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

but the correlation coefficient in the problem changes only by .01 right? so it's not an outlier. @gamingreborninme , would you please stop spamming? You have literally not contributed anything until now and you're making it hard for @INEEDHELPNOWPLZ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true, but wouldnt a influential point do the same?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

well, let's talk abou tthat later... since it seems like a confusing answer

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

do you know what a residual is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is e

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

close. It's the difference of the observed from the expected

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

as in it's the difference between what you actually have (observed) and what the line predicts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

and what's an extrapolation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know, out teacher never taught us

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

an extrapolation is a guess outside of the bounds of your data using your model. This can't be the right answer because you are talking about an actual observed point (not a predicted value by your model)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is the residual

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

careful lol

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

a point can't be a residual. A residual is just the difference between your observed and expected values

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

it's not a predicted y value either because you're looking at an actual observed data point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yah

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

sorry to lead you on a long goose chase, but the only valid answer is the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by default its e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh the first one?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Yes. your correlation coefficient tells you how much your model fits with your data. because the correlation coefficietn went up that means that your point was actually a valid piont on your model

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

furthermore it significantly changed the slope of your regression line.

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

therefore by definition it is an influential point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool thnxs

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

you're welcome :)
