Question
A simple linear regression model was fitted to two variables: Y, the response variable and X, the explanatory variable.A scatter plot of Y versus X as well as the residual plot after fitting the least squares regression line to the data are given below.Which ONE of the following statements regarding the assumptions for this simple linear regression is FALSE?Group of answer choicesThere are two outliers from the general trend.TThe observation with the largest value of x is likely to have a large effect on the position of the fitted line.Two of the observations have unusual y values given their x values.Two of the observations are outliers in x.There are doubts about the Normality of the errors due to the presence of one or more outliers.
Solution
The statement that is FALSE regarding the assumptions for this simple linear regression is: "Two of the observations are outliers in x."
In a simple linear regression model, outliers are typically identified in the y-direction (the response variable), not the x-direction (the explanatory variable). An outlier in the x-direction would simply be an extreme value of the explanatory variable, not necessarily an outlier in the context of the regression model.
The other statements could potentially be true depending on the specific scatter plot and residual plot. For example, if there are two points that are far away from the general trend, they could be considered outliers. Similarly, the observation with the largest value of x could have a large effect on the position of the fitted line, especially if it is far away from the other points. And if there are one or more outliers, this could cast doubt on the assumption of normally distributed errors.
