2. Stacy owns a car that produces 100 horsepower. She is interested in understanding the relationship between gasoline consumption and power in cars. She has collected a random sample of 392 automobile models; each observation includes MPG (miles per gallon), and HP (horsepower). After concluding the relationship between these variables is non-linear, she focused on a regression of MP on sqrtHP (defined as the square root of HP i.e. ???). The output for that regression is provided in a separate sheet and labeled REGRESSION 1.

Question:Give a 99.7% confidence interval for the expected change of a car's MPG if the horsepower of the car increases by one HP unit. HINT: This is not a forecast & pay attention to the independent variables units
