1. Find the correlation coefficient & interpret it.
2. Find & interpret the slope.
For every additional mg the heart rate decreases by 38.56 bpm.
3. Find & interpret the y-intercept.
4. Write LSRL:
RESIDUALSSection 3.2B
Residuals
• Variation in the y values can be effectively explained when the residuals are small – close to the line.
• Remember a residual = observed – exp.
The equation to explain the relationship between drug dosage and heart rate is shown below.

1. Find the predicted value for a dosage of 0.4 mg.
2. Find the residual for (0.4, 80).
The equation to explain the relationship between drug dosage and heart rate is shown below. Find the residuals for each value.

* The sum of the residuals is always zero!
Residual Plot• It is a scatterplot of the residuals vs the explanatory
variable.
• They help us to assess how well a regression line fits the data.
• The residual plot should show no obvious pattern
• The residuals should be relatively small.
The equation to explain the relationship between drug dosage and heart rate is shown below. Graph the residual Plot. Is the linear model appropriate?

Standard Deviation of the Residuals
• It represents the approximate size of a “typical” or “average prediction error (residual).
• Formula:
