Davidson ("Update on Ozone Trends in California's South Coast Air Basin," Air and Waste, 43, 226, 1993) studied the ozone levels in the South Coast Air Basin of California for the years 1976-1991. He believes that the number of days the ozone levels exceeded $0.20 \mathrm{ppm}$ (the response) depends on the seasonal meteorological index, which is the seasonal average 850-millibar temperature (the regressor). The following table gives the data.

a. Make a scatterplot of the data.

b. Estimate the prediction equation.

c. Test for significance of regression.

d. Calculate and plot the $95 %$ confidence and prediction bands.
