The article referred to in Exercise 23 presents values for

Chapter 8, Problem 24SE

(choose chapter or problem)

The article referred to in Exercise 23 presents values for the dependent and independent variables for 10 additional construction jobs. These values are presented in Tables SE24A and SE24B (page 661).

a. Using the equation constructed in part (a) of Exercise 23, predict the concrete quantity \((y)\) for each of these 10 jobs.

b. Denoting the predicted values by \(\widehat{y}_1\), . . . , \(\widehat{y}_{10}\) and the observed values by \(y_1\), . . . , \(y_10\) compute the quantities \(y_i-\widehat{y}_{i}\). These are the prediction errors.

c. Now compute the fitted values \(\widehat{y}_{1}\), . . . , \(\widehat{y}_{28}\) from the data in Exercise 23, using the observed values \(y_1\), . . . ,\(y_28\) from those data, compute the residuals \(y_i-\widehat{y}_{i}\).

d. On the whole, which are larger, the residuals or the prediction errors? Why will this be true in general?
