◦
The y intercept, a is the predicted value of y when x = 0.
The slope b of a regression line describes the predicted
change in the y variable for each 1-unit increase in the
x variable.
◦
It is very important to include the word “predicted” (or
its equivalent) in the interpretation of the slope and y
intercept.

◦
Extrapolation
is the use of a regression line for prediction far
outside the interval of x values used to obtain the line. Such
predictions are often not accurate.
◦
The prediction we make using the regression line is
called an
extrapolation
◦
Even when we are not extrapolating, our predictions are seldom perfect. For a specific
point, the difference between the actual value of y and the predicted value of y is
called a
residual
.

A residual is the difference between an actual value of y and the value of y predicted
by the regression line. That is,

Data on x = size of a house (in square feet) and y= amount of natural
use (therms) during a specified period were used to fit the least
squares regression line.
The slope was 0.017 and the y-intercept was -5. Houses in this data set
ranged in size from 1000 to 3000 square feet.
a)
What is the equation of the least squares regression line?
b)
What would you predict for gas usage for a 2100 sq. ft. house?
c)
What is the approximate change in gas usage associated with a 1
sq. ft. increase is size?
d)
Would you use the least squares regression line to predict gas
usage for a 500 sq. ft. house? Why or why not?

Least Squares Regression Lines
Objectives:
◦
Calculate the equation of the least squares regression line using
technology
◦
Calculate the equation of the least squares regression line using
summary statistics
◦
Describe how outliers affect the least-squares regression line
Complete #4-6
Discuss
◦
How did outliers affect our least squares regression line?
Definition
◦
The
least squares regression line
is the line that
makes the sum of the squared residuals as small
as possible
What is a residual?
◦
The magnitude of a typical residual can give us a sense
of generally how close our estimates are.
What could the standard deviation of a
residual tell us about our regression line?
◦
The smaller the residual standard deviation, the closer is
the fit to the data.
◦
The smaller the residual standard deviation is compared
to the sample standard deviation, the more predictive
the model is.
◦
The standard deviation of your residuals, S, can also be
thought of as the "typical" residual, so most points
should be within S points from the line of best fit.
What do residuals look like?

1.
“Least squares” means smallest squares of
residuals
2.
Outliers pull lines towards themselves
3.
Outliers often change slope and y-intercept

Researchers have investigated if pomegranate’s antioxidant
properties are useful in the treatment of cancer. One study
investigated whether pomegranate fruit extract (PPE) was
affective in slowing the growth of prostate cancer tumors.
In this study, 24 mice were injected with cancer cells. The mice
were then randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups.
One group of eight mice received normal drinking water, the
second group received drinking water supplemented with 0.1%
PPE, and the third received drinking water supplemented with 0.2%
PPE.
The average tumor volume for the mice in each group was
recorded at several points in time.

When the relationship between two quantitative variables is linear, we can use a regression line to model the relationship and make predictions
Definition A regression line is a line that describes how a response variable y changes as an explanatory variable x changes. Regression lines are expressed in the form ? = a + bx, where ? (pronounced y hat ) is the predicted value of y for a given value of x.
Definition The y intercept, a is the predicted value of y when x = 0. The slope b of a regression line describes the predicted change in the y variable for each 1-unit increase in the x variable. It is very important to include the word predicted (or its equivalent) in the interpretation of the slope and y intercept.
Definition Extrapolation is the use of a regression line for prediction far outside the interval of x values used to obtain the line. Such predictions are often not accurate.
The prediction we make using the regression line is called an extrapolation
Even when we are not extrapolating, our predictions are seldom perfect. For a specific point, the difference between the actual value of y and the predicted value of y is called a residual.
Definition A residual is the difference between an actual value of y and the value of y predicted by the regression line. That is,
Roller coasters with larger maximum heights usually go faster than shorter ones. Here is a scatterplot of x = height (in feet) versus y = maximum speed (in miles per hour) for nine roller coasters that opened in 2012. The equation of the regression line for this relationship is ? = 28.17 + 0.2143?. Calculate, and interpret the residual for the Iron Shark, which has maximum height of 100 feet and a top speed of 52 miles per hour. Interpret the slope of the regression line. Does the value of the y intercept have meaning in this context? If so, interpret the y intercept. If not, explain why.
