Question:
Can the consumption of water in a city be predicted by temperature? The following data represent a sample of a day's water consumption and the high temperature for that day.
Water Use Temperature
(millions of gallons) (degrees Fahrenheit)
219 ............. 103◦
56 .............39
107 .............77
129 .............78
68 .............50
184 .............96
150 .............90
112 .............75
Develop a least squares regression line to predict the amount of water used in a day in a city by the high temperature for that day. What would be the predicted water usage for a temperature of 100_? Evaluate the regression model by calculating se , by calculating r 2, and by testing the slope. Let = .01.
