Question: Build a simple linear regression model to predict PSA level (Y) as a function of cancer volume (X).Use this model to predict the mean PSA
Build a simple linear regression model to predict PSA level (Y) as a function of cancer volume (X).Use this model to predict the mean PSA level for a patient whose cancer volume is 20cc. In addition to building the simple linear regression model, the focus of this discussion is to assess the degree to which the assumptions of homoscedasticity and normalityare satisfied.
