1) Students in a management science class have just received their grades on the first test. The instructor has provided information about the first test grades in some previous classes as well as the final average for the same students. Some of these grades have been sampled and are as follows:

student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 test grade 98 77 88 80 96 61 66 95 69
Final Average 93 78 84 73 84 64 64 95 76

2) A sample of twenty automobiles was taken, and the miles per gallon (MPG), horsepower, and total weight were recorded. Develop a linear regression model to predict MPG using horsepower as the only independent variable. Develop another model with weight as the independent variable. Which of these two models is better? Explain.
