Question:

Testing Least-Squares Property According to the least-squares property, the regression line minimizes the sum of the squares of the residuals. We noted that with the paired data in the margin, the regression equation is 5 5 1 4x and the sum of the squares of the residuals is 364. Show that the equation 5 8 1 3x results in a sum of squares of residuals that is greater than 364.
