Chapter 14, Problem 25SE
Predicted GPA A student who has been accepted by two colleges wants to estimate what GPA he might get at the two colleges. His data consist of SAT scores and GPAs from random samples of recent graduates at each college. He wishes to predict his GPA at each school, using separate linear regression models for the two colleges. Should he use prediction intervals or confidence intervals for the prediction of his own GPA? Explain.
