 Consider the following count models fitted using the glm command in

Consider the following count models fitted using the glm command in R, between (i) Model 1: ycount(the response variable) and x1 (the covariate) and (ii) Model 2: ycount (the response variable) and x2 (the covariate).

(b) In terms of goodness of fit, briefly explain how you would compare the two models using the above output. Between model 1 and model 2, which model would you say offers a better fit? Explain. (c) Write down the fitted regression model for model 1 and provide an interpretation for the slope coefficient (Coefficient of x1) (d) Compute the expected response counts for x1 = 2 and x1 = 10. How would you inter- pret your result for al = 10
