Not sure what this question is asking... @zepdrix @mathmate

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

PS. I already made the scatterplot.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmm I dunno stats ;c soz

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I swear, THIS is the last one and then I'm done... I assume you know how to get correlation coefficient, its squared value, and the regression line?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yes^

OpenStudy (mhchen):

And S as well? Say like "The average error in predicting the y4 from x4 is about (S-value) using the LSR"

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no...don't know the s value. haven't learned it yet I don't think

OpenStudy (mhchen):

S is Standard deviation of residuals

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

oh

OpenStudy (mhchen):

Basically same equation as Standard deviation, but you divide the sum of the standard values by (n-2) instead of n-1

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

oh

OpenStudy (mhchen):

You want me to make an equation of that? or you got it?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

i think i actually have heard of that. just haven't used it

OpenStudy (mhchen):

okay, so that tells you the average error in predicting y4 from x4

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

ok. and how does that connect to the question?

OpenStudy (mhchen):

That's one statement you can make about the data set.

OpenStudy (mhchen):

Another one is using r^2

OpenStudy (mhchen):

Whatever r^2 is, that's the percentage of y4 that can be explained from x4 using LSR

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Oh, ok. So basically just talk about the LSRL, r, r^2, etc. and explain what they mean

OpenStudy (mhchen):

yeah, and cause it's statistics, you have to say like "according to our model according to our LSR, based on.." yeh

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I got points off my last quiz for not including those :(

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

ok

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Hey would you happen to know how to use a TI 84+?

OpenStudy (mhchen):

And then correlation coefficient tells you whether the slope is positive or negative.

OpenStudy (mhchen):

obviously

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

lol, well I'm trying to use RESID but for some reason it's not working correctly. I have no idea where it's getting it's info, but it's not using L1 and L2

OpenStudy (mhchen):

and the 'constant' in y-hat = a + bx which is 'a' can be like "According to our LSR, an X4 of 0 will have a Y4 of (a)

OpenStudy (mhchen):

uh, what about the RESID?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It's not working right...

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I never learned RESID, it's not residual right?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

it's residual. nvm, i'll look it up online

OpenStudy (mhchen):

But you don't have any values to plug in

OpenStudy (mhchen):

Residual = actual value - predicted value And we aren't given any predicted value

OpenStudy (mhchen):

I think we can leave residuals alone for this one.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

It's for another problem

OpenStudy (mhchen):

ahhh k. Well I g2g, I have too much physics HW. Gonna take like 2 more hours D:
