(a) Develop a scatter chart of the data using years to maturity as the independent variable. Does a simple linear regression model appear to be appropriate? (b) Develop an estimated quadratic regression equation with years to maturity and squared values of of years to maturity as the independent variables. How much variation in the sample values of yield is explained by this regression model? Test the relationship between each of the independent variables and the dependent variable at a 0.05 level of significance.
