Two radon detectors were placed in different locations in

Chapter 7, Problem 10E

(choose chapter or problem)

Two radon detectors were placed in different locations in the basement of a home. Each provided an hourly measurement of the radon concentration, in units of pCi/L. The data are presented in the following table.

a. Compute the least-squares line for predicting the radon concentration at location 2 from the concentration at location 1.

b. Plot the residuals versus the fitted values. Does the linear model seem appropriate?

c. Divide the data into two groups: points where \(R_1<4\) in one group, points where \(R_1 \geq 4\) in the other. Compute the least-squares line and the residual plot for each group. Does the line describe either group well? Which one?

d. Explain why it might be a good idea to fit a linear model to part of these data, and a nonlinear model to the other.
