The least squares regression equation for the data in the table is
= 13.5x + 42.9. The R-value is 0.977.

Why might you use a linearized model instead?

    Answer:

    A linearized model would be the best in this case, since R \simeq 1 .

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since, R-value or the correlation coefficient is 0.977 or very close to 1, so

    linearized model will be best suitable as least square regression model.

    Since,

    when R = 1

    the points will accurately fall over a straight line having equation of the form

    ax + by + c = 0 where a, b, c are fixed but otherwise arbitrary constants.
