Estimated College GPA=4.28+(−0.2134)(High School GPA).Estimated College GPA=4.28+(−0.2134)(High School GPA).

Step 1 of 3 :  

Compute the sum of squared errors (SSE) for the model. Round your answer to four decimal places.

To compute the Sum of Squared Errors (SSE) for the model, we'll follow these steps:

### Given Regression Equation:
\[
\text{Estimated College GPA} = 4.28 + (-0.2134) \times (\text{High School GPA})
\]

We will calculate the following:
1. **Predicted College GPA** for each student using their high school GPA and the given regression equation.
2. **Error** for each student: the difference between the actual College GPA and the predicted College GPA.
3. **Squared Error** for each student: square of the error.
4. **SSE**: the sum of all squared errors.

Let's break it down step-by-step.

### Step 1: Use the formula to compute predicted College GPAs

\[
\text{Predicted College GPA} = 4.28 - 0.2134 \times (\text{High School GPA})
\]

For each High School GPA in the dataset, compute the predicted College GPA.

| High School GPA | Actual College GPA | Predicted College GPA |
|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------------|
| 3.86            | 3.86               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.86 \)  |
| 3.15            | 3.15               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.15 \)  |
| 3.95            | 3.95               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.95 \)  |
| 2.27            | 2.27               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 2.27 \)  |
| 2.86            | 2.86               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 2.86 \)  |
| 4.02            | 4.02               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 4.02 \)  |
| 3.42            | 3.42               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.42 \)  |
| 3.08            | 3.08               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.08 \)  |
| 3.94            | 3.94               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.94 \)  |
| 4.71            | 4.71               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 4.71 \)  |
| 3.00            | 3.00               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 3.00 \)  |
| 4.51            | 4.51               | \( 4.28 - 0.2134 \times 4.51 \)  |

### Step 2: Calculate Errors and Squared Errors
\[
\text{Error} = \text{Actual College GPA} - \text{Predicted College GPA}
\]
\[
\text{Squared Error} = (\text{Error})^2
\]

### Step 3: Compute the SSE
The SSE is the sum of all squared errors:
\[
SSE = \sum (\text{Squared Error})
\]
