A linear equation to predict global temperature ( in degrees Celsius ) based on the amount of carbon dioxide in the air ( in parts per million) is given by y = 10.5 + 0.01 x. a. Find the best predicted global temperature when there is 370 parts per million in the air? b. The correlation coefficient, r, is 0.89, what does this mean in terms of the situation? c. What does the y-intercept mean in terms of the situation. Does it seem reasonable? d. What does the slope mean relative to the situation?
