From the graph of histogram it is see that residual is not normally distributed. We calculate the
chi_crit i-e 5.99 and Jarque-Bera vale i-e 1.35, which is less than chi_crit. So we reject H0 and
accept H1, it means that our model is miss-specified.

Here F-Statistics prob value is significant i-e is less than 5%. It means that we reject H0 and
accept H1. So our model is miss-specified.

From the above results we can conclude both functional form are well, with R-squared .84-
84% and RSS1 is 8.45E-08 and RSS2 is 9.65E-08 with minor difference. The RSS1 is lower
than RSS2 so we can say log form is better than linear form.
