Applying the Concepts and SkillsIn Exercises, we repeat the information from Exercises. For each exercise here, discuss what satisfying Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences by the variables under consideration would mean.ExercisesApplying the Concepts and SkillsIn each of Exercises,a. find the regression equation for the data points.b. graph the regression equation and the data points.c. describe the apparent relationship between the two variables under consideration.d. interpret the slope of the regression line.e. identify the predictor and response variables.f. identify outliers and potential influential observations.g. predict the values of the response variable for the specified values of the predictor variable, and interpret your results.Tax Efficiency.Tax efficiency is a measure, ranging from 0 to 100, of how much tax due to capital gains stock or mutual funds investors pay on their investments each year; the higher the tax efficiency, the lower is the tax. In the article…
Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13–28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13–28 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493.
