Concept explainers
a.
To identify: The least square regression line for predicting total price using carat as an explanatory variable.
b.
To identify: Whether the model obtained in part (a) provides a good fit.
To comment: On the residual plots.
To find: The amount of variation explained by the model obtained in part (a).
c.
To fit: A quadratic regression model using carat and carat_sq as explanatory variables.
To verify: Whether the estimates for each of the parameter match with the estimates given in Example 29.15.
d.
To check: Whether the addition of a quadratic term increases the fit.
To comment: The residual plots.
To find: The R-square value for the quadratic model.
e.
To state and test: The hypothesis of testing the significance of quadratic term (carat_sq) in the regression model.
