A quadratic regression model for data in the table below would be уhat = 0.0006x² + 0.958x - 37

The coefficient of determination, r² = 0.9287

What is the quadratic regression model?

The quadratic regression model is given by the general formula;

y = ax² + bx + c

where:

y is the dependent variable

x is the independent variable

a, b, c are the coefficients of the model

This is exemplified in the equation;

уhat = 0.0006x² + 0.958x - 37

a = 0.006, b = 0.9588, c = -37

The coefficient of determination obtained with the spreadsheet formula

= RSQ(A1:A4, B1;B4)

= 0.9287

With the above regression model, the table can be completed as follows;

x y yhat y - yhat

50 15 9.4 5.6

100 36 52.8 -16.8

150 110 93.2 16.8

200 125 130.6 -5.6
