, 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.
(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.
