EXAMPLES:
Determine if the linear regression model is appropriate by
looking at the graph of the residuals.
Step 1:
Use the regression model to find the predicted values. (3

Step 2:
Find the residuals:

A
residual plot
is another way to help us determine if a linear relationship
exists between our variables. A residual plot is a scatter plot of the
independent variable (y) and the residuals. For residual plots,
the independent variable goes on the x-axis, and the residuals go on
the y-axis.
Step 4:
Determine if the regression model is appropriate.
No pattern - yes

1. Can we come up with any general rules in regards to interpreting residual plots?
In these examples, we explore data analysis techniques and linear regression models using scatter plots, linear functions, and residual calculations. We analyze the trends in recorded music sales, antibiotic levels in the body, and predicted values in a linear regression model. The concepts of slope, y-intercept, residuals, and model appropriateness are explained within the context of each problem.

Example 2: Consider the table below displaying the percentage of recorded music sales coming from music stores from 1998 to 2004. Let s create a scatter plot for this data,
For our scatter plot in example 2, the linear function y = -2.97x + 48.89 represents the linear function that best models our data. The graph below shows the scatter plot and function plotted together. 60 What does this equation mean in context of this problem? 55 50 45 What is the slope of the line? What does it mean in the context of the problem? 40 35 30 25 What is the y-intercept? What does it mean in the context of the problem? f x ( ) = 2.97 x + 48.89 20 15 10 What percentage of total sales came from music stores in 2008? 5 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 5
Example 3: The amount of antibiotic that remains in your body over a period of time varies from one drug to the next. The table given shows the amount of Antibiotic X that remains in your body over a period of two days. a). Create a scatter plot for the data. b) Create the line of best fit for the data using the instructions from example 1. c) The exact line of best fit is = . 0 + 514 . 9 314 y x Use this function to determine the population in 2015. d) What year will the population be below 3,000?
= . 0 . 9 + 514 314 y x e) What does the number -0.514 represent? What does it mean in the context of the problem? f) What does the number 9.314 represent? What does it mean in the context of the problem?
exact Residual (Error) the ____________________ distance between a data point and the graph of the __ ________ ______________. the difference between the observed value of y and the predicted value of y. Your predicted values come from the equation for the line of best fit. Line of Best Fit

A residual plot is a scatter plot of the independent variable (y) and the residuals. For residual plots, the independent variable goes on the x-axis, and the residuals go on the y-axis.
