Revisit first: Correlation of paired data

TOPIC 01

Linear regression and applications

Fit a least-squares line and distinguish prediction, residual and extrapolation.

What you will be able to explain

  • Fit a least-squares line and distinguish prediction, residual and extrapolation.
  • Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

An observation at x=2 has y=2t+5. Find its residual under ŷ=3+tx.

t=9t=9
  • Sxx>0; extrapolation beyond observed x needs separate justification and predictions are not certain outcomes.
Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Use the paired-data summaries, preserving which observations belong together.
Hint 2
Use this intermediate relation.
e=y−y^e=y-\hat y
Worked solution
  1. Use the paired-data summaries, preserving which observations belong together.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    e=23−(21)=2e=23-(21)=2
  3. A positive residual means the observation is above the fitted line.

The requested value is 2.

Checks and common pitfalls: A positive residual means the observation is above the fitted line.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Focus on one question

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Fit a least-squares line and distinguish prediction, residual and extrapolation.
  • Which condition is essential in linear regression and applications?
  • Must the fitted line pass through every point?

Board plan

  • Defining relation: Fit a least-squares line and distinguish prediction, residual and extrapolation.
    y^=a+bx;b=Sxy/Sxx;a=yˉ−bxˉ\hat y=a+bx;\quad b=S_{xy}/S_{xx};\quad a=\bar y-b\bar x
  • Conditions: Sxx>0; extrapolation beyond observed x needs separate justification and predictions are not certain outcomes.

Anticipated thinking

  • Residual means observed minus predicted, not the reverse.

Assessment checklist

  • 1 mark: choose the correct representation and conditions.
  • 1 mark: establish the intermediate relation.
  • 1 mark: complete a connected calculation or proof.
  • 1 mark: interpret and check the conclusion.
