a. Scatter Plot:
The scatter plot demonstrates the relationship between the independent variable xx and the dependent variable yy. It appears nonlinear because the points deviate from a straight line and suggest a curve.

b. Linear Regression Equation:
The estimated linear regression equation is: y^=7.479+1.319x\hat{y} = -7.479 + 1.319x

  • R² for linear model: 0.8730.873, indicating a good but not perfect fit.

c. Quadratic Regression Equation:
The estimated quadratic regression equation is: y^=13.0860.325x+0.020x2\hat{y} = 13.086 - 0.325x + 0.020x^2

  • R² for quadratic model: 0.9760.976, showing a significantly better fit compared to the linear model.

Conclusion:

The quadratic model provides a much better fit to the data than the linear model. It captures the curvature in the data that the linear model misses.

Do you have any specific questions or need further details? Here are some relevant questions:

  1. Would you like to understand the significance testing for the linear model's coefficients?
  2. Do you want to compare residual plots between the two models?
  3. Should I explain how to compute R² values?
  4. Would you like to analyze the quadratic model further (e.g., interpretation of coefficients)?
  5. Do you need predictions for specific values of xx?

Tip: A higher R² value indicates that the model explains a greater proportion of the variance in the dependent variable, making it a better fit.
