Explained and unexplained variation and the least-squares regression line

Problem 2

Explained and unexplained variation and the least-squares regression line

Given the following data:

x y
107.4 125.7
122.1 131.9
127.4 123.1
137 145.6
147.7 141.6

What is the equation for this sample?

What is the variation in the sample y values that is not explained by the estimated linear relationship (SSE)?

What is the proportion of the total variation in the sample y values that is explained by the estimated linear relationship (r-squared)?

For the data point (107.4,125.7) what is the residual?

Hint
Statistics   The Least Squares Regression Line fits that relationship. That line is known as a Relapse Line and has the condition ŷ= a + b x. The Least Squares Relapse Line is the line that makes the upward separation from the information focuses to the relapse line as little as could be expected...
