  1. Is there a relationship between the predictor and the response?

    The p-value is 2.2e-16 so yes there is a relationship

  2. How strong is the relationship between the predictor and the response?

    R2 Value is 0.6059 which implies 60.59% of variance in mpg is due to horsepower

  3. Is the relationship between the predictor and the response positive or negative?

    Negative since the coeeficient is negative

  4. What is the predicted mpg associated with a horsepower of 98? What are the associated 95% confidence and prediction intervals?

predict(lm.fit, data.frame(horsepower=c(98)), interval="confidence")

## 1 24.46708 14.8094 34.12476
  1. Plot the response and the predictor. Use the abline() function to display the least squares regression line.
attach(Auto)
{plot(mpg~horsepower)
model_coef <- coef(lm.fit)
abline(coef = model_coef, col ="purple")}

  1. Use the plot() function to produce diagnostic plots of the least squares regression ft. Comment on any problems you see with the ft.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(lm.fit)

Comments:

The relationship is non-linear as observed in the residuals vs fitted plot. The residual distribution is somewhat a normal guassian distribution. The variance in errors is somewhat constant.

b. Provide an interpretation of each coefcient in the model. Be careful—some of the variables in the model are qualitative!

  • Price: For $1000 Price increase, there is a decrease of 54.459 units in Sales

  • Urban: The sales are insignificantly affected by Urban area locations

  • US: A US-based Casrseats store sells 1200.573 more carseats on average than non US stores

    1. Write out the model in equation form, being careful to handle the qualitative variables properly.
      Sales ~ -0.054459*Price + -0.021916*Urban + 1.200573*US + error
  1. We can reject the null hypothesis for the feature: Urban since its p-value is too high and therefore not statistically significant.
