Back to Activity1 ===Begin by examining the data set. Recognize how the data is recorded and how you may be able to use the given data to explore potential relationships between categories.===

=__Scatterplot Questions__= ==1. Create a scatterplot using average MPG and another category that you feel may influence fuel efficiency. Answer the following questions.== Answer: We chose MPG vs. HP because it usually takes more fuel, smaller MPG, to produce more horsepower. Answer: The x axis is MPG and the y was horsepower. Because we set MPG as the independent variable and we wanted to look at how the horsepwer changed according to that MPG. Answer: Yes, because as the horsepower decreases the mpg increases at an increasing rate. Answer: there is a negative slope in the change in horsepower over the change in mpg.
 * === Identify the category you chose and why you thought there might be a relationship BEFORE creating the scatterplot? ===
 * === Create the scatterplot. Which category is your x-axis and which is your y-axis? Why did you create your scatterplot in that order? ===
 * === Do you believe there is a relationship between the two categories? Why or why not? ===
 * === If there appears to be a relationship, does it have a positive or negative slope? What does this mean about the relationship between the two categories? ===

=__Regression Questions__=

(What is Regression?)
==Create the linear regession equation in Excel, which Excel calls the trend line. Click the boxes to create both the equation and the r 2 value on the graph. Answer the following questions.== Answer: y = -6.362x + 307.5 It means that the horsepower decreases 6.362 for every mile per hour increase. Answer: .4301 This is not a strong correlation. The scatterplot is not linear. Answer: Yes, we still think that the more horsepower a car has the poorer mpg it will have.
 * === What is your regression equation? Explain what the equation means in words. ===
 * === What is your r 2 value? Is this a strong correlation? Why or Why not? If you are not sure, try searching the internet for supporting documents. Provide URL's for where you find your information ===
 * === Based on all the information you have, has your belief about the relationship of the two categories changes? Why or why not? ===

=__**Analysis**__= ==Right click on the regression equation and select "Format Trendline". Explore the different variations of regression equations.== Answer: We checked different kinds of regressions to find a better model. Answer: No. We think that a power regression is better because it has a better R squared value >
 * === How would you determine which equation had the best relationship? ===
 * === Was the "Linear" option the optimal option? If so, why? If not, what was the better equation and why? ===
