Student C took 4 courses in the Fall semester. His previous CGPA was 3.6. He received GPA 3.4 in the Fall semester. Using this data, we'll try to build a model using Least Square approximation, that can predict the CGPA of a student in the Fall semester given the number of courses s/he took in Fall, and his/her previous CGPA.
