The regression model y=4000−2.7xy=4000-2.7x is used to estimate the annual number of cars going over the speed limit (y) based on the number of police officers on the road. Estimate the number of cars going over the speed limit when there are 40 police officers on the road.

You wish to predict the number of times someone logs in their email a day. The estimated linear regression model is Logins = 5 + 1.3(work)Logins\ =\ 5\ +\ 1.3\left(work\right)where Logins is the number of times a person logs in their email a week and work is the number of hours of work done a week. Logan works 30 hours a week and checks his email 49 times a week. What is his residual?

One day George wanted to examine the linear relationship between how many hours a student studies (xx) the day before the exam and the exam grade (yy).
He asks 13 random students and collects the following data
r=0.819  sx=3.24  sy=14.24  x‾=8.25  y‾=78.25r=0.819\ \ s_x=3.24\ \ s_y=14.24\ \ \overline{x}=8.25\ \ \overline{y}=78.25

Suppose we want to see if there is a relationship between the size of a condo unit and the selling price of it. We randomly sampled 16 units:
(a) Estimate the linear regression model.
(b) Unit #3 is 1250 sqft, what is his predicted selling price? Compute the residual for this estimate.

The following assertions about the three residual are True or False
Residual Plot A: No problem – unbiased and homoscedastic (constant variance)
Residual Plot B: Heteroscedasticity – we see a “fan”, indication of non-constant variance across the range of values
