Explanation / Answer

Model 2 is working best for this data set. This is because coefficients of output and output squared are significant while using model 2. The p-values are also low and R squared is around 94 per cent which states that 94 per cent of the deviations in the cost variable are explained by output and output squared. The joint hypothesis testing using F test is also significant as F value is very high. Thus, model 2 best fits the data among all the three models.
