A regression model is desired relating temperature and the proportion of impurity from a solid substance passing through solid helium. Temperature is listed in degrees centigrade. The data are as presented here.

(a) Fit a linear regression model.

(b) Does it appear that the proportion of impurities passing through helium increases the temperature as it approaches ?273 degrees centigrade?

(c) Find R².

(d) Based on the information above, does the linear model seem appropriate? What additional information would you need to better answer that question?
