Predicting Land Value Both figures concern the assessed value of land (with homes on the land), and both use the same data set. (a). Which do you think has a stronger relationship with value of the land-the number of acres of land or the number of rooms n the homes? Why? b. Il you were trying to predict the value of a parcel of land in e arca (on which there is a home), would you be able to te a better prediction by knowing the acreage or the num- ber of rooms in the house? Explain. (Source: Minitab File, Student 12. "Assess.")

The following data on = soil depth (in centimeters) and y = percentage of montmorillonite in the soil were taken from a scatterplot in the paper "Ancient Maya Drained Field Agriculture: Its Possible Application Today in the New River Floodplain, Belize, C.A." (Agricultural Ecosystems and Environment [1984]: 67-84):
a. Draw a scatterplot of y versus x.
b. The equation of the least-squares line is 0.45x. Draw this line on your scatterplot. Do there appear to be any large residuals?
c. Compute the residuals, and construct a residual plot. Are there any unusual features in the plot?
