‘elecdemand’ contains all of the necessary data for your analysis.
(a) (8 marks) Construct an Ordinary Least Squares Regression (simple Linear Regression) of the
data. Ensure you include all necessary calculations and plots in your analysis.
(b) (5 marks) Discuss the appropriateness of the model calculated in (a). Provide full reasoning in

temperature reaches 35o Celsius. Show all calculations, including any appropriate formula(e).
(d) (5 marks) To answer this part of the question you will need to do some research. Please
remember the referencing requirements for academic submissions. In the preparation of linear
regression models using the appropriate Excel analysis tool, a graph titled ‘Normal Probability Plot’ is
provided. What does this plot purport to show and what does it mean in the context of this question?
