The Update to the Task Force Report on Blood Pressure Control in Children [12] reported the observed 90th per-centile of SBP in single years of age from age 1 to 17 based on prior studies. The data for boys of average height are given in Table 11.18. Suppose we seek a more efficient way to display the data and choose linear regression to accomplish this task.

Do you think the linear regression provides a good fit to the data? Why or why not? Use residual analysis to justify your answer.
Am I supposed to run a residual plot and QQ-plot for this question?
The article “Models for Assessing Hoisting Times of Tower Cranes” (A. Leung and C. Tam, Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1999: 385–391) presents a model constructed by a stepwise regression procedure to predict the time needed for a tower crane hoisting operation. Twenty variables were considered, and the stepwise procedure chose a nine-variable model. The adjusted R2 for the selected model was 0.73. True or false: a) The value 0.73 is a reliable measure of the goodness of fit of the selected model. b) The value 0.73 may exaggerate the goodness of fit of the model. c) A stepwise regression procedure selects only variables that are of some use in predicting the value of the dependent variable. d) It is possible for a variable that is of no use in predicting the value of a dependent variable to be part of a model selected by a stepwise regression procedure.
Refer Excel Output and answer the following questions.1. Determine whether there is a significant relationship between dependent variable and the two independent variables at the 0.05 level of significance.
2. At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each independent variable makes a significant contribution to the regression model. (use critical value T stat Approach)
