1. You will design a regression Model where Distance from Coast is the Independent variable and Precipitation is the response. Run Minitab Stat>Regression>Fitted Line Plot
3. Make and paste a scatterplot graph with the least square line. Interpret the slope.

1. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test for a significant correlation between precipitation and distance from coast. Show all steps.

1. Find and interpret r2.

1. Looking at the scatterplot, it seems that a non-linear regression model might be a better fit for precipitation and distance from coast. Rerun the fitted line plot but choose cubic instead on linear. Paste the graph here. Under this model, what percentage of the variability precipitation is explained by distance from coast?
