scatter plot help???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, what's the Q? :)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The observed values are the actual dots on the graph while the predicted values are the corresponding point on the line. The residual is the difference between these 2 values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i do it

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Read the values off the graph what is the plotted point for monthly heating cost for 25.4 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

51.00

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right - its on the table as well as the graph now you cant read the cost accurately from the line so use the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but with the equation im confused. wht am i supposed to finding from the eqaution?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

monthly cost y = -1.1 x + 90.51 replace x by 25.4 and calculate y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

62.57

OpenStudy (welshfella):

y = -1.1 * 25.4 + 90.51 it should come to approximately 62

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- right that was fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i put 62 or 62.57

OpenStudy (welshfella):

put 62.57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i did that

OpenStudy (welshfella):

now the residual is the difference to be honest i'm not sure which one is subtracted - I think its 62.57 - 51.00

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay 11.57

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- the cost was less than expected so that's 11.57 in your pocket - right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. so i did the same for the bottom question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you mind helping me with another?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

ok but i have to go in 10 minuets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok illl post it fast

OpenStudy (welshfella):

predicted score for no time studying is y = 3.83(0) + 15,68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 15.68?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for 1 hour of study y = 3.83 + 15.68 answer = this value - value for no stusying

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for 12 hours of study y = 3.83(12) + 15.68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answers are 15.68 3.84 and 61.65

OpenStudy (welshfella):

second one is 3.83 yes

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- other 2 are right

OpenStudy (welshfella):

gotta go now hoped you have learned something
