Numbers of visitors to the Aloha State dropped dramatically during the recession. The number of visitors to Hawaii between $2007(t=0)$ and $2011(t=4)$ is approximately $$N(t)=-0.062 t^{3}+0.617 t^{2}-1.557 t+7.7 \quad(0 \leq t \leq 4)$$ Show that the number of visitors to Hawaii was approximately 7.7 million in 2007 , then dropped to a low some-time short of 2009 , before recovering to approximately 7.4 million in 2011 .

Prior to 1980, homeowners in Hawaii had to lease the land their homes were built on because the law (dating back to the islands' feudal period) required land to be owned only by the big estates. After 1980, a new law instituted condemnation proceedings so that citizens could buy the land under their house. A large Hawaiian estate wants to use regression to estimate the fair market value of its land. The data set HAWAII contains 20 property sales in a particular neighborhood. Property Lease Fee Size 1 70.7 13.5 2 52.7 9.6 3 87.6 17.6 4 43.2 7.9 5 103.8 11.5 6 45.1 8.2 7 86.8 15.2 8 73.3 12 9 144.3 13.8 10 61.3 10 11 148 14.5 12 85 10.2 13 171.2 18.7 14 97.5 13.2 15 158.1 16.3 16 74.2 12.3 17 47 7.7 18 54.7 9.9 19 68 11.2 20 75.2 12.4 Fit a second-order model for the natural log of sale price in terms of plot size and repeat the F-test as in part (d) to see whether there is evidence this transformation stabilized the residual variance. Is there evidence of residual heteroscedasticity at the α = .01 significance level? Question: What is the p-value for the F-test for equality of variance described for the model for log of lease fee?
