Question:

12. Exercise 4 gave data on x  BOD mass loading and y  BOD mass removal. Values of relevant summary quantities are n  14 xi  517

yi  346 x2 i  39,095

y2 i  17,454 xi yi  25,825

a. Obtain the equation of the least squares line.

b. Predict the value of BOD mass removal for a single observation made when BOD mass loading is 35, and calculate the value of the corresponding residual.

c. Calculate SSE and then a point estimate of .

d. What proportion of observed variation in removal can be explained by the approximate linear relationship between the two variables?

e. The last two x values, 103 and 142, are much larger than the others. How are the equation of the least squares line and the value of r 2 affected by deletion of the two corresponding observations from the sample? Adjust the given values of the summary quantities, and use the fact that the new value of SSE is 311.79.
