Using an online calculator, I have the following:
12 data pairs (x,y):
( 12.0 , 24.0 ); ( 14.0 , 30.0 ); ( 15.0 , 36.0 ); ( 18.0 , 38.0 ); ( 20.0 , 65.0 ); ( 16.0 , 44.0 ); ( 14.0 , 36.0 ); ( 13.0 , 30.0 ); ( 18.0 , 39.0 ); ( 19.0 , 76.0 ); ( 20.0 , 80.0 ); ( 22.0 , 85.0 );
Regression equation:
predicted y = -53 + 6.06x
Correlation: r = 0.894
To find residuals:
Y(hat) comes from substituting an x value into a regression equation and solving for y(hat). Y(hat) is also called the predicted y value in a regression equation.
Let's use an example. Suppose the regression equation is this:
y(hat) = 2.75 + .5x
If x = 1, then y(hat) = 3.25
Suppose y = 3. Then y - y(hat) would be 3 - 3.25 = -0.25 (using the above example). This would be your residual.
The residuals in regression are measuring how far each observed y is from the regression line, y(hat), for a given value of x.
I hope this helps.
