Question

Please use excel and attach graphs and explanation of how you solved the problems.

Part III. Recall Exercise 1-19 from the first assignment. Using the combined data (both high and low), we obtained a regression line which was a pretty good fit, but if you look at the graph both the points representing the smallest and largest values lie above the line, which is usually a good indication that a quadratic approximation would be more appropriate. is usually a good indicati on that a quadratic approximation would be more appropriate. Find the best-fit quadr atic curve for this data, and show it at least fixes the problem of the regression line al ways having a negative y-intercept. You could also check to see if the quadratic curve gives a smaller value for the residual sum of squares

Explanation / Answer

Quadraric Model

SSR in quadratic - 11.92022046

SSR in linear -   16.21821453

clearly SSR in quadratic is less

How to solve

type data in columns

use excel data data analysis regression
