question 144

Essay

The bigger the stop sign, the more expensive it is. Here is a graph of the height of a sign in inches versus its cost in dollars.
 The bigger the stop sign, the more expensive it is. Here is a graph of the height of a sign in inches versus its cost in dollars.   To achieve linearity, the data was transformed using a square root function of cost. Here are the results and a residual plot. Dependent Variable:   \operatorname{sqrt}(\cos t)     R   (correlation coefficient)   =0.98946627     R-s q=0.97904349   s: 0.2141   \begin{array}{lrr}\text { Parameter } & \text { coeff } & \text { se } \\ \text { Intercept } & 1.1857 & 0.4346 \\ \text { height } & 0.1792 & 0.0151\end{array}       -Interpret R-sq in the context of this problem.
