Consider the regression model you found for the data on the number of
postal workers in a country and the amount of mail processed.
Make a plot of the residuals versus the values of the independent
variables.
What does this lead you to believe about the appropriateness of the
linear model?
Now plot the residuals versus the predicted values of y.
How do the two graphs compare? Why do you think this happened?
Make a normal probability plot of the data. Do you think the assumption
of normality is reasonable?
Considering your answers to the parts (a) – (e) , do you think that
the linear regression model is appropriate for these data. Why or why
not?
