How do I calculate residuals and residual plots? Ex: The Watsons have always kept a garden of Geometrees in their yard. The data

table and scatter plot below represent the number of years for their longest living Geometree and how tall it has grown in feet.

Answer:

Complete step by step explanation along with graphs are provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a linear regression model described by the equation,

f(x) = 1.3x + 9.2

Where x is the age in years of the Geometrees and f(x) is the corresponding height of the Geometrees.

Residual value:

A residual value shows the position of a data point with respect to the regression line.  

The Residual value is calculated by

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Where observed values are already given in the question.

The predicted values are calculated as

For x = 1

F(x) = 1.3(1) + 9.2 = 1.3 + 9.2 = 10.5

For x = 2

F(x) = 1.3(2) + 9.2 = 2.6 + 9.2 = 11.8

For x = 3

F(x) = 1.3(3) + 9.2 = 3.9 + 9.2 = 13.1

For x = 4

F(x) = 1.3(4) + 9.2 = 5.2 + 9.2 = 14.4

The rest of the predicted values are calculated similarly and are given in the attached table.

Now we can find out the residual values,

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

Residual value = 9 - 10.5 = -1.5

Residual value = 12 - 11.8 = 0.2

Residual value = 14 - 13.1 = 0.9

Residual value = 15 - 14.4 = 0.6

The rest of the residual values are calculated similarly and are given in the attached table.

A plot of residual values vs age of Geometrees is attached.

A plot of residual values vs height of Geometrees is also attached.

Note:

A residual value closer to 0 is desired since such values means that the regression best fits the data points.

Kim is watching a space shuttle launch from an observation spot 2 miles away. Find the angle of elevation from Kim to the space
hammer [34]

Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>

malfutka [58]

Answer: he was 84 years old when he died and the fractional part of a century that he live is 21/25

Step-by-step explanation:

General Douglas MacArthur, one of the leading generals in World War II was born in 1880. He died in 1964. The number of years that he lived would be the year he died - the yea he was born. Therefore,

His age when he died

= 1964 - 1880 = 84 years.

The number of years in a century is 100. Therefore, the fractional part of a century that he lived would be

84/100 = 21/25
