Is this a problem from "instructional" class? What textbook are you "following"?

Please share your work/thoughts so that we know where to begin to help you!

Did you read the relevant chapters in the book?
Generally, the sample size depends on the "assumed" nature of the distribution.
What are the salient features of these observations?

Hi,
The only information I have is in the question and that it is a regression problem,which is what I have been studying and is what the textbook is about.
