Question

Consider the following:

Regression Model A has the following attributes:

b0 = 2.717

b1 = 0.166

t-statistic = 0.688

p-value = 0.509

QQ Plot and Residual Plots for Model A:

Regression Model B has the following attributes AFTER removing the outlier from Model A:

b0 = 0.108

b1 = 0.612

t-statistic = 3.576

p-value = 0.007

QQ Plot and Residual Plots for Model B:

Comparing the results of the Model A and Model B, what impact did removing the outlier have on the apparent significance of the correlation between tobacco and alcohol consumption? Explain your answer.

0 b 0

Explanation / Answer

Removing the outlier increases the correlation between alcohol and tobacco consumption.

The P-value for model 2 < 0.05 which suggests that there is no significant difference in the consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
