1. With the Braking R data, produce a scatterplot of Distance versus Speed, and overlay a plot of the regression predictions using the Third Try model (with the distance-speed ratio as the outcome variable). Also, plot a 95% confidence band around the estimated regression function. You may want to vary the colors and line styles to make an attractive plot. For values of speed use xseq = seq(min(Braking$Speed),max(Braking$Speed),length = 1000) as shown earlier in the supporting material.
2. Using the Braking R data. For a car moving at 30 mph give a 95% confidence interval for the mean distance it takes to stop the car once brakes are applied. State why you either do or do not trust this interval.
3. Using the sat R dataset, fit a model with the total SAT score as the response and expend, salary, ratio and takers as predictors. Perform regression diagnostics on this model to answer the following questions. Display any plots that are relevant. Do not provide any plots about which you have nothing to say. Suggest possible improvements or corrections to the model where appropriate.
(a) Check the constant variance assumption for the errors.
(b) Check the normality assumption.
(c) Check for large leverage points.
(d) Check for outliers.
(e) Check for influential points.
(f) Check the structure of the relationship between the predictors and the response.
4.For the
divusaR data, fit a model with divorce as the response and the other variables, except year as predictors. Check for serial correlation.
