Math Problem Statement

What is the regression residual when X_2 = 3, given the regression equation \( \hat{Y} = 2 + 3X \) and the data points (X = 3, Y = 5)?

Solution

The question in the image asks for the regression residual when X2=3X_2 = 3. We already know that the fitted value is Y^2=11\hat{Y}_2 = 11, which is derived from the regression equation Y^=2+3X\hat{Y} = 2 + 3X.

To find the regression residual, we can use the formula for residuals:

Residual=YactualY^\text{Residual} = Y_{\text{actual}} - \hat{Y}

From the table, the actual value of Y2Y_2 when X2=3X_2 = 3 is Y2=5Y_2 = 5. So, the residual is:

Residual=Y2Y^2=511=6\text{Residual} = Y_2 - \hat{Y}_2 = 5 - 11 = -6

Thus, the regression residual when X2=3X_2 = 3 is 6-6.

  1. How is the slope of a regression line determined?
  2. What does a negative residual indicate in regression?
  3. How can we assess the accuracy of a regression model?
  4. What are the assumptions behind simple linear regression?
  5. How can you interpret the y-intercept in a regression equation?

Tip: Always check for patterns in residuals, as they can indicate whether the linear model is appropriate for the data.
