SSE/Sum of Squares for Error Calculations

Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

I'm trying to calculate the sum of squares for errors (SSE) manually and I was given an example with the answer below, but I cannot figure out how they got the answer. Can you please show, or tell me how they got the answer (20) and what +...+ means between these numbers, because each time I calculate, it comes up to 18 and not 20.

SSE = (6-8)² + (7-8)² +...+ (10-8)² + (11-13)² + (12-13)² +...+ (15-13)² = 20.

    where,
    SSE = sum of squares due to error = S2y - b^2 * S2x
    => SSE = S2y - Sxy^2/S2x = 42.5892 - (-26.29)^2/54.9166
    => SSE = 30.0035
    therefore,
