Chapter 15: Inference for Regression
Monday April 8. Review of Regression. HW: Look up the conditions for Inference for the regression model and determine whether they are satisified for example 15.1 on page 889. Note: If your calculator does not show r or r-square when performing the regression, do the following: Press 2nd 0 (Catalog), scroll down to DiagnosticOn, and press ENTER. Press ENTER again to execute the command. The screen should say "Done". Then press 2nd ENTER (ENTRY) to recall the regression command and ENTER again to calculate the least-squares line. The rsquare and r should now appear.
