1. consider all defects data, from January 2017 through December 2021. Build a scatterplot of the defects over time. Fit a simple linear regression model to the data and a polynomial trendline of order 2. Which model is the best fit for the data? Simple Linear regression or polynomial trendline of order 2? Is the best fit model a good predictor of future defects?

2. When is the first month that we realized a clear drop in defects (Enter your answer as a month number)? Did that drop occur immediately after the supplier initiative was implemented in August 2018? Predict the number of defects for January 2022.

Please show work thank you
