Given the “data” determined by y = x^3 + (x-1)^2 with x = 0.1, 1.2, 2.3, and 2.9, calculate SSTO, SSR, and R^2. Then recalculate these using x = 0.3, 1, 2.45, and 2.8. Does where you collect your data (i.e., which values of x) appear to impact your interpretation of how good the linear model fits?.
The data in the following table show five students' reading test scores and final exam grades in a history class.
