d.) Equation: Lung = 6.274 + 0.5421Cig + U, B0 is 6.274, B1 is 0.5421 meaning that when the
amount of cigarettes smoked increase by 100 this will cause an increase in lung cancer
deaths by 0.5421.

e.)

Q1= 21.21, Q3 = 28.09, IQR = 6.88, Upper bound = 38.41, Lower bound = 10.89
outliers = 40.46 cig and 42.4 cig.

3.)
Unrestricted model equation:
Lung = B0 + B1Cig + B2 Predicted lung^2 + B3 Predicted Lung^3 + U
F-test = 4.286 while F critical at 0.05 = 1.298, F-test is greater than critical value which means
null hypothesis is rejected and the restricted model is not appropriate for current situation.
4.)
a.) Excel file
b.) Old Regression equation: Lung = 6.274 + 0.5421Cig + U
New Regression equation: Lung = 2.271 + 0.7159 Cig + U
c.) Yes, the number of the coefficient changed as B0 decreased from 6.274 to 2.271 while B1
for cigarettes increased from 0.5421 to 0.7159.

The outlier observation is influential because the new plot has changed after removing them
and the old one was more stretched as if it was being pulled by the outlier observations.
