Q:1/1/1/

,1. Kwame is investigating a possible relationship between average March temperature,
t °C, and tea yield, y kg/hectare, for tea grown in a particular location.
He uses 30 years of past data to produce the following summary statistics for a linear
regression model, with tea yield as the dependent variable.
Residual Sum of Squares (RSS) = 1 666 567 Stt = 52.0 Syy = 1 774 155

least squares regression line: gradient = 45.5 y-intercept = 2080

(a) Use the regression model to predict the tea yield for an average March temperature
of 20 °C
(1)

He also produces the following residual plot for the data.

Temperature (t °C)

(b) Explain what you understand by the term residual.
(1)

(c) Calculate the product moment correlation coefficient between t and y
(2)

(d) Explain why the linear model may not be a good fit for the data

(i) with reference to your answer to part (c)
(ii) with reference to the residual plot.
(2)

, Question 1 continued

Kwame also collects data on total March rainfall, w mm, for each of these 30 years.

For a linear regression model of w on t the following summary statistic is found.

Residual Sum of Squares (RSS) = 86 754

Kwame concludes that since this model has a smaller RSS, there must be a stronger
linear relationship between w and t than between y and t (where RSS = 1 666 567)
(e) State, giving a reason, whether or not you agree with the reasoning that led to
Kwame’s conclusion.
