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
