By seeing the R^2 value, we can say that the explained variability is very less @25.77%. The p-value suggests a statistically significant correlation between total expenditures and life expectancy, since p<<0.05. Looking at residuals plots it is clear that there is no constant variability and that residuals are not normally distributed. This model is not a good model.

  1. Raise life expectancy to the 4.6 power (i.e., LifeExp^4.6). Raise total expenditures to the 0.06 power (nearly a log transform, TotExp^.06). Plot LifeExp^4.6 as a function of TotExp^.06, and r re-run the simple regression model using the transformed variables. Provide and interpret the F statistics, R^2, standard error, and p-values. Which model is “better?”
#model2

TotExp06 <- who$TotExp**0.06

The 2nd model is better than the 1st model. The R^2 is .729, that means the explained variability is 72.9% compared to 25% for the1st model. Looking at residuals plots, variability is fairly constant with a few outliers and distribution of residuals is nearly normal. So 2nd model is better than the 1st model.

  1. Using the results from 3, forecast life expectancy when TotExp^.06 =1.5. Then forecast life expectancy when TotExp^.06=2.5.

The equation:

y = - 736527910 + 620060216*(x)

LE <- function(x)
{y <- -736527910 + 620060216 *(x)
y <- y^(1/4.6)
y}
LE(1.5)
## [1] 63.31153
LE(2.5)
## [1] 86.50645
  1. Build the following multiple regression model and interpret the F Statistics, R^2, standard error, and p-values. How good is the model?

LifeExp = b0+b1 x PropMd + b2 x TotExp +b3 x PropMD x TotExp

#model3
lm2 <- lm(LifeExp ~ PropMD + TotExp + PropMD*TotExp, data = who)

The R^2 is just .3574 that means that the explained variability is just 35.74%. Residuals is right skewed and do not show constant variability. Dont think this is good model.

  1. Forecast LifeExp when PropMD=.03 and TotExp = 14. Does this forecast seem realistic? Why or why not?
LifeExp_new <- ( (6.277*10^1) + (1.497*10^3)*.03 + (7.233*10^(-5))*14 - ((6.026*10^(-3))*0.03*14) ) 
LifeExp_new
## [1] 107.6785

This seems like an outlier as life expectancy of 107 does not look correct.
