(a) Plot weight against time.

(b) A hasty user of statistics enters the data into software and computes the least-squares line without plotting the data. The result is

The regression equation is weight = 4.88 + 0.267 age

Plot this line on your graph. Is it an acceptable summary of the overall pattern of growth? Remember that you can calculate the least-squares line for any set of two-variable data. It's up to you to decide if it makes sense to fit a line.

(c) Fortunately, the software also prints out the residuals from the least-squares line. In order of age along the rows, they are

Verify that the residuals have sum zero (except for roundoff error). Plot the residuals against age and add a horizontal line at zero. Describe carefully the pattern that you see.
