Warm Up A) B) C) D) E) Write a few sentences describing the graph

Warm Up A) B) C) D) E) Write a few sentences describing the graph in context. Calculate the LSRL and report your answer in context. Describe the slope in context. Describe the y-intercept in context. Predict a backpack weight based on a body weight of 115 pounds, interpret your results in context. F) Predict a backpack weight based on a body weight of 220 pounds. G) Why is the value you found in (F) not a reasonable prediction? H) Find and interpret the residual of someone who weights 115 lbs when her backpack weight was 17 lbs.

Outliers! Influencing my LSRL? Definition: An outlier is an observation that lies outside the overall pattern of the other observations. Points that are outliers in the y direction but not the x direction of a scatterplot have large residuals. Other outliers may not have large residuals. An observation is influential for a statistical calculation if removing it would markedly change the result of the calculation. Points that are outliers in the x direction of a scatterplot are often influential for the leastsquares regression line. • Lets look at an illustration!

Determining of its influential? • The best way to verify that a point is influential is to find the regression line both with and without the unusual point. If the line moves more than a small amount when the point is deleted, the point is influential. – There is no rule for determining outliers in scatterplots • Remember: We are only investigation the influential behavior of these points, in practice it would be wrong to delete inconvenient observations without a good justification!
