Double check that this is the correct regression model.
Do an exponential regression (Stat, Calc, #0)
Store the regression equation & save the residuals (StoreRegEq: VARS, Y-VARS, enter, enter, enter, enter)
Graph the residual plot (change the YList to RESID, use 2nd, Stat) show it with Zoom9.
What do you see? Remember what this looks like.
NOW double check, do a LINEAR REGRESSION (Stat, Calc, #8)
Store the regression equation & save the residuals (StoreRegEq: VARS, Y-VARS, enter, enter, enter, enter)
Observe the residual plot with zoom9.
1. Which regression seems to be better: linear or exponential?
2. How do you know based on the residual plots?
Be sure to explain your answer.
"_________________________, because the residual plot _______________________________________________"
I will grade this question :)
