Checking the Assumptions

1)the true relationsip is linear
    a)look at the scatterplot..does it appear to be linear
    b)check the correlation....r = 1 or r = -1
    c)look at the residual plot.....random scatter


2)the standard deviation of the response about the true line is the same everywhere.....

3)the response varies normally about the true regression alone...looking at the residuals...they should form a normal distribution construct a normal probability plot of the residuals



Since one of the assumptions is NOT qualified, we can't do the problem. However, I still did it in case you want to see it.
