- How far off are you from the actual number of Beetle larvae from
a cottonwood tree with 5 stumps?
- Does it make sense to use a linear regression model
here? Write a short paragraph about your analysis and carefully
state your case. You should provide at least 2 specific reasons why
this is or is not a good technique to use to predict the number of
clusters of beetle larvae.
- Does it make sense to predict the number of clusters of beetle
larvae if there are zero stumps? Why or why not? What happens when
you do this calculation?
