A physics student wants to measure the stiffness of a spring (force required per cm stretched). He knows that according to Hooke's law, there is a linear relationship between the distance a spring is stretched and the force needed to stretch the spring. He collects some data by measuring the force applied to the spring when he stretches the spring by some amount. The plot and the least squares fit is given below.From the regression model, the intercept was found to be -2.532 and the slope was found to be 25.321.Part i).The stiffness of the spring was predicted to beA. -9.961B. 25.321C. 50.642D. -2.532E. 125.84Part ii).Refer to the previous question, the physics student used the regression model to predict that a force of 377.28N would be required to stretch the spring by 15cm. Remarkably, his prediction was horribly wrong. Can you explain why? (Check all that apply)A. He made a prediction outside of the range of forces observed.B. He had outliers or influential points in his data.C.…

The following data was collected to explore how the number of square feet in a house, the number of bedrooms, and the age of the house affect the selling price of the house. The dependent variable is the selling price of the house, the first independent variable (x1�1) is the square footage, the second independent variable (x2�2) is the number of bedrooms, and the third independent variable (x3�3) is the age of the house.
