Hand in Friday OCT 12
Residuals plots: Due Friday Oct. 12 (day 21) so you
don't have to worry about needing SPSS or a computer over break
(these are the Postponed parts fromDay 17):
p.
129, 5.7 fuel residuals. You did the book questions. Now, in
SPSS, Make a variable containing the residuals (Handout, bottom p. 4.
Also middle-bottom of Day16.)
The values should match the ones in the book/SPSS file.
SPSS Handout p. 3 (Governors' salaries): You can now finish #12,
the last question. Hand it all in now.
p.133, 5.9 (SPSS) Farm population You did a, b, c (read
p. 132 for a good word to use in part c). Now, make a variable
containing the residuals, and plot it against the x (year) values.
Draw (in pencil) a horizontal line at height 0. What pattern do
you see in the residuals?
B. Use Residuals.xls from the website
or the lab to graph these data sets, along with a graph of the residuals.
Print the results, and describe the shape of the residuals (it may help
to connect the dots with pencil, to see the pattern.)
a) x 1 2 8 4 6 9
y 1 3 6 6 7 5
b) x 1 2 7 4 6 9
