“Renewable sources of energy are of growing importance in the economy. The U.S
government reports the amount of renewable energy generated in each of the states for
each of several renewable sources.
Some states do not have reports, so there are missing values in the data. The data for 2004
are in the file Alternative Energy. Consider the relationship of hydroelectric power with
energy from wind. Find a model for this relationship.
The model prior to dealing with extraordinary or influential points was:
This model resulted in a F-statistic of 1.8989 with significance p = 0.1827. The high p-value
suggests that the model is not significant when predicting Hydroelectric power with energy from
wind. This is the case as seen in the scatterplot:
