Question 1

An analysis of a sports team's performance shows that scores initially rise but later decline over several games. Create a model using a parabola to predict future outcomes. Provide your fitted model's coefficients.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Examine the trends in the dataset when determining your coefficients.

Question 2

For a certain crop yield at different water levels, the data points collected suggest a parabolic trend. How would you fit a parabola, and what steps would you take to evaluate your model's efficiency?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure you validate your model with residual analysis after determining coefficients.
