and the sample regression line will appear as

(12.5) equation

where img is the sample estimate of img and img is the sample estimate of img. The sample regression line is illustrated in Fig. 12.4. Note that there are two values of Y that occur at each Xi value—the observed value of Y or Yi, and the estimated value of Y or img. Their difference, img, will be termed the ith residual or ith deviation from the sample regression line. This residual is “observed” and serves as an estimate of εi, which is purely random and thus “unobserved.”
