1 Use the petrol consumption data set from Lecture 16 and build a regression tree to predict petrol consumption based on petrol tax, average income, amount of pavement and the proportion of the population with drivers licences. Plot the tree. Which variables are split first and second? Prune the tree leaving only three terminal nodes. Plot the final tree. (10)

2 Use the data from Lecture 18 to model the probability of O-ring damage as a logistic regression using launch temperature as the explanatory variable. Is the temperature a significant predictor of damage? Is it adequate? What are the odds of damage when launch temperature is 60F relative to the odds of damage when the temperature is 75F? Use the model to predict the probability of damage given a launch temperature of 55F. (20)
temp = c(66, 70, 69, 68, 67, 72, 73, 70, 57, 63, 70, 78, 67, 53, 67, 75, 70,
