The quadratic model for the given data is wrong.
Students who are going to college have a cost per credit. The chart below is a cost of tuition cost increase over the years. A table of the yearly cost is listed below.
A) Use technology (graphing calculator or excel) to determine the least squares regression line for the best fit line for the data given above. List the equation and R^2 Regression factor.
B) Use your equation from technology to estimate how much college credits will cost in 2021
We use the form ŷ = a + bx for the least-squares line. In some computer printouts, the least-squares equation is not given directly. Instead, the value of the constant a is given, and the coefficient b of the explanatory or predictor variable is displayed. Sometimes a is referred to as the constant,
and sometimes as the intercept. Data from Climatology Report No. 77-3 of the Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, showed the following relationship between elevation (in thousands of feet) and average number of frost-free days per year in Colorado locations.
A Minitab printout provides the following information.

- A newspaper advertisement in the Straits Times of Singapore contained pictures of diamond rings and listed their prices, diamond weight (in carats), and gold purity. Based on data for only the 20-carat gold ladies’ rings in the advertisement, the least-squares regression line for predicting price (in Singapore dollars) from the weight of the diamond (in carats) is: price = 259.63 + 3721.02 carats What does the slope of this line say about the relationship between price and number of carats?arrow_forwardAn article gave data on a measure of pollution (in micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air) and the cost of medical care per person over age 65 for six geographical regions of the United States.
