Question: The scatterplot shows four fixed points: (1,2), (2,6), (4,2), and (5,6). State the correlation and the equation of the line of best fit (?1 )
The scatterplot shows four fixed points: (1,2), (2,6), (4,2), and (5,6). State the correlation and the equation of the line of best fit (?1 ) on Desmos) for these four points. r =.3112 y? = 2.8+.4x
A point that dramatically changes the apparent slope of the regression line is called an influential point. Let (?, ?) be a fifth "wandering point." Investigate the influence of this fifth wandering point on the correlation and slope. Note whether the wandering point has either no residual or an estimated small, medium, or large residual. Also note what kind of leverage the wandering point has: none, low, or high. Use the sliders for c and d to change the wandering point to the points A to G below. You can also animate the wandering point to see how the regression model (??2 ) on Desmos) and correlation changes
