Unusual points Each of the four scatterplots that follow shows a cluster of points and one “stray” point. For each, answer these questions:
1) In what way is the point unusual? Does it have high leverage, a large residual, or both?
2) Do you think that point is an influential point?
3) If that point were removed, would the correlation be- come stronger or weaker? Explain.
4) If that point were removed, would the slope of the re- gression line increase or decrease? Explain
The accompanying data on y = normalized energy \(\displaystyle{\left[{\left(\frac{{J}}{{m}^{{2}}}\right)}\right]}\) and x = intraocular pressure (mmHg) appeared in a scatterplot in the article “Evaluating the Risk of Eye Injuries: Intraocular Pressure During High Speed Projectile Impacts” (Current Eye Research, 2012: 43-49), an estimated regression function was superimposed on the plot.
\(\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline x & 2761 & 19764 & 25713 & 3980 & 12782 & 19008 & 19028 & 14397 & 9606 & 3905 & 25731 \\ \hline y & 1553 & 14999 & 32813 & 1667 & 8741 & 16526 & 26770 & 16526 & 9868 & 6640 & 1220 & 30730 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
Here is Minitab output from fitting the simple linear regression model. Does the model appear to specify a useful relationship between the two variables?
