a. Use the linear regression equation from Part C to calculate the predicted adult weight for each birth weight. Round to the nearest hundredth. Enter these in the third column of the table.

b. Find the residual for each birth weight. Round to the nearest hundredth. Enter these in the fourth column of the table.

c. Plot the residuals.

d. Based on the residuals, is your regression line a reasonable model for the data? Why or why not? ​

Answer 1

Hi there! The answers will be in the explanation :D

Explanation:

a) I'll attach a doc for the table so it'll basically answer a and b.

c) I'll also attach the graph.

d) I'm not entirely sure for this question, but I'll do my best to answer it correctly for you. I would say no, because we can see that the residuals are all positive, but the graph we're looking is going down which means it's negative. We can also see the table is increasing a bit so it doesn't really make any sense...

Hope this helped you!
