Also explain the confidence interval obtained in part 4 in detail.

Evaluate the possible cost functions using the following criteria, (a) economic plausibility, (b) Goodness-of-fit and (c) individual tests (t tests) for the cost parameters at 95% level of accuracy. Use the following format for the analysis. Criterion Model (1) Model (N) a) Economic plausibility b) Goodness-of-fit c) Individual t tests for cost parameters (2). Which model would you recommend and why? (3). For the model with two drivers, predict the overhead cost for 1600 machine hours and 50 production runs. (4). Prepare a 99% confidence interval for the forecast overhead in part (3) above
