Data were collected on GPA and number of faceook friends for students in a small statistics class. Some summary statistics, partial output from the regression analysis are provided. Assume that these students are typical students for all students at a university

Variable	Mean	St Dev	Minimum	Maximum
GPA	3.2067	0.4118	2.4000	3.9500
Facebook friends	677.9	307.2	185.0	1500.0

The regression equation is GPA = 3.830 - 0.000919 Facebook friends

Source	DF	SS	MS	F	P
Regression	1	2.31193	2.31193	24.85	0.000
Error	28	2.60534	0.09305
Total	29	4.91727

a) Determin whether we should have any strong concerns about the conditions being met for using a linear model with these data. Explain

b) Write down the equation of the least squares line and use it to predict the GPA for someone with 800 Facebook friends.

c) The correlation between GPA and number of Facebook friends is -0.686. Us eht correlation and significance level of 5% to test for a negative linear association between GPA and number of Facebook friends. Include the details of the test.
