Doctors studying how the human body assimilates medication inject some patients with penicillin,and then monitor the concentration of the drug (in units/cc)in the patients' blood for seven hours.First they tried to fit a linear model.The regression analysis and residuals plot are shown.Is that estimate likely to be accurate,too low,or too high? Explain. Dependent variable is:                  Concentration
