Question:

Consider the following values for the dependent and independent variables:

x y 5 10 15 15 40 25 50 44 60 79 80 112

a. Develop a scatter plot of the data. Does the plot suggest a linear or nonlinear relationship between the dependent and independent variables?

b. Develop an estimated linear regression equation for the data. Is the relationship significant? Test at an a = 0.05 level.

c. Develop a regression equation of the form yn = b0 + b1x + b2x2. Does this equation provide a better fit to the data than the equation in part b?
