# 1. Exercise 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 9(d) and 9(g) in Section 6.8 of the Text. Please run `set.seed(1)` before you run any other codes, so that your results are reproducible for grading. Please answer 9(g) with respect to the results obtained in 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) and 9(d). The `College` data set is in the library `ISLR`

```{r}
set.seed(1)
data(College)
n = 1:nrow(College)

train = sample(n, 777*.7)
index = n[-train]

test = sample(index, 777*.3)

train_set = College[train, ]
test_set = College[test, ]
summary(College)
```

```{r}
lm.fit = lm(Apps~., data = train_set)

p = predict(lm.fit, test_set)

MSE = mean((p - test_set$Apps)^2)
MSE
```


```{r}

try installing the package formatR and then running library(formatR)

Indeed, you need the formatR :package: for this to work. No need to call library(formatR) though.

Have you loaded the package where this function lives ?
