The following table gives the number of miles per gallon in the city and on the highway for some of the most fuel efficient cars according to Consumer Reports. Make a scatterplot of the data using city mileage as the predictor variable. 1Find the regression equation and use it to predict the highway mileage for a fuel-efficient car that gets 40 miles per gallon in city driving. Would it be appropriate to use the regression equation to predict the highway mileage for a fuel-efficient car that got 60 miles per gallon in city driving? If so, make the prediction. If not, explain why it would be inappropriate to do so.
