Calculate SSE andfor each of the following cases:
a. n = 20,,,
b. n = 40, , , ,
c. n = 10, ,,
Short Answer
- SSE = 57.5, = 3.195
- SSE = 257.5, = 6.78
- SSE = 12.5, = 1.56

Get started for freeMinitab was used to generate the following histogram:
a. Is this a frequency histogram or a relative frequency histogram? Explain.
b. How many measurement classes were used in the construction of this histogram?
c. How many measurements are in the data set described by this histogram?
Suppose you fit a least squares line where n = 20, , ,, and .
a. Calculate the estimated standard error for the regression model.
b. Interpret the estimation value calculated in part a.
Software millionaires and birthdays. Refer to Exercise 11.23 (p. 655) and the study of software millionaires and their birthdays. The data are reproduced on p. 663.
a. Find SSE and s for the simple linear regression model relating the number (y) of software millionaire birthdays in a decade to the total number (x) of U.S. births.
b. Find SSE and s for the simple linear regression model relating the number (y) of software millionaire birthdays in a decade to the number (x) of CEO birthdays.
c. Which of the two models' fit will have smaller errors of prediction? Why?
Decade | Total U.S. Births (millions) | Number of Software Millionaire Birthdays | Number of CEO Birthdays (in a random sample of 70 companies from the Fortune 500 list) |
1920 | 28.582 | 3 | 2 |
1930 | 24.374 | 1 | 2 |
1940 | 31.666 | 10 | 23 |
1950 | 40.530 | 14 | 38 |
1960 | 38.808 | 7 | 9 |
1970 | 33.309 | 4 | 0 |
Refer to Exercise 11.14 (p. 653). Calculate SSE and s for the least-squares line. Use the value of s to determine where most of the errors of prediction lie.
Why do we generally prefer a probabilistic model to a deterministic model? Give examples for when the two types of models might be appropriate.
