- FRQ 2 Professional basketball teams have 11 players per team. Salary is dependent upon their scoring average, measured in points per game. A least-squares regression line that describes the relationship between scoring average and salary for one professional basketball team is ŷ = 2,671,134.68 +684,663.08x, where x is the player's scoring average and y is the player's salary. The residuals for this regression are given in the graph below. Residual $20,000,000 $15,000,000 $10,000,000 $5,000,000 $0 -$5,000,000 -$10,000,000 -$15,000,000 4 ITS % 6 MacBook Pro ● 8 ● ● ● 10 12 14 Scoring Average (Points per Game) Is a line an appropriate model to use for these data?
