In 1981, the United States Postal Service changed their rates on March 22 and November 1. This information is shown in the table below.

Question 2

Interpret the intercept of your model in context.

Answer to Question 1

It would be better for customers to have a negative residual from this model, since a negative residual would indicate that the actual cost of the diamond was less than the model predicted it to be.

Answer to Question 2

The intercept of the model is -558.52. The model predicts that a diamond of 0 carats costs -558.52. This is not realistic.
