a.
To construct: A simple linear regression equation for predicting tuition fees from years and also show the residuals and fitted values.
b.
To estimate: The tuition fee for the year 1971 using the estimated regression equation.
c.
To check: Whether the estimate obtained in part (b) is meaningful.
d.
To plot: The residuals against the year.
To explain: The inadequacy of fitting a linear model.
e.
To identify: Whether the linear model underestimate or overestimate the tuition fee during 1990s.
f.
To construct: A quadratic regression model for estimating the tuition fees using year as explanatory variables.
g.
To check: Whether the quadratic model provides a better fit than linear model.
h.
To state: Whether the experimenter will be interested to give inferences based on quadratic regression model.
