Figure 8.10: plot axis titles and figure captions do not match narrative text #443

Closed GloriaWYY closed 2 years ago

GloriaWYY commented 2 years ago

In Section 8.7.2 Multicollinearity, Figure 8.10 has x axis title “House size (square feet)” and y axis title “House size (square inches)”. However, these do not match the actual plot (where the x values and y values are very close) and the narrative text:

Consider an extreme example using the Sacramento housing data where the house was measured twice by two people. Since the two people are each slightly inaccurate, the two measurements might not agree exactly, but they are very strongly linearly related to each other, as shown in Figure 8.10.

This is already fixed in the dev branch!

@GloriaWYY I guess I forgot that this might come up: when you're looking at the R version of the book, you should look on the dev branch -- it's got some updates that the master branch doesn't have yet.

(we can't update master now because the course is currently being taught -- we'll be merging dev -> master soon though.)
