To determine whether the cash bonuses paid by Johnson Financial Group are related to annual pay, data
were gathered for 10 account executives who received such bonuses in 2007. The data, scatterplot and
summary statistics are shown below.
Correlation 0.735
Note: In answers to problems 2, 4, and 5 we will be using regression equation coefficients received by
computer software. If we apply textbook formulae, the value of intercept will be a little bit different.

6) Below is a plot showing residuals versus fitted values for the estimated regression equation relating
cash bonus to annual pay for the account executives at Johnson Financial Group. Are all the conditions
for linear regression met? Explain.
Answer: The residual plot shows that the Equal Spread Condition is violated. The residuals "fan out"
from left to right in a cone shape.

vaan tulevan totuuden tuntoon; ja sentähden uskon minä, etten
huku, vaan tulen tietämään totuuden Sinusta, omasta luonteestani,
minun velvollisuuksistani ja kaikesta, mitä tarvitsen tietää.
Sentähden, oi Herra, tahdon minä käydä rohkeasti eteenpäin ja
täyttää velvollisuuteni niin hyvin kuin voin päivä päivältä, joskaan en
täydellisesti, ja rukoilla Sinua päivä päivältä ravitsemaan minun
sieluni jokapäiväsellä leivällä. Sinä ravitset ruumiini jokapäiväsellä
leivällä. Kuinka paljoa enemmän sinä tahdot ravita minun olentoni ja
sydämeni, joka on paljoa suuremman arvoinen Sinulle kuin minun
ruumiini. Herra, minä tahdon uskoa Sinuun sekä ruumiin että sielun
puolesta; ja minua tarvitaan oikaista synteini tähden, tiedän minä
hyvinkin sen, että pahinta, jota voipi tapahtua minulle tai jollekin
ihmiselle, on tehdä väärin eikä tulla oikaistuksi, ja parasta on saada
ohjausta oikeaan, vaikkakin kovain iskujen kautta, niin usein kuin
minä eksyn pois tieltä. Sentähden, oi Herra, tahdon minä kärsiä
rangaistukseni hiljaa ja miehuullisesti ja koettaa kiittää Sinua siitä,
niinkuin minun pitäisi; sillä minä tiedän ett'et tahdo rangaista minua
enempi kuin ansaitsen, vaan paljoa vähemmän kuin ansaitsen. Minä
tiedän että Sinä tahdot rangaista minua ainoasti saadaksesi minua
menemään itseeni ja oikasemaan itseäni, puhdistaakseni itseäni ja
vahvistaakseni itseäni. Oi Herra, minä uskon, Sinun oman sanasi
tähden minä uskon sen — ansaitsematta niinkuin se kunnia, että
Sinä olet minun Isäni ja rakastat minua; Sinä et vaivaa ketään
ihmistä halulla etkä saata murhetta ihmisten lapsille huonoista
vaikuttimista tai uhalla. Sinä et tahdo minun tai kenenkään muun
ihmisen kadotusta; vaan Sinä tahdot että kaikki ihmiset autuaiksi ja
totuuden tuntoon tulisivat Jesuksen Kristuksen tähden. Amen.
