Saporito vineyards of Mirandola Italy have been making wine for two hundred year

Question

Saporito vineyards of Mirandola Italy have been making wine for two hundred years. In 1969 a young wine maker took over the vineyards and began recording the rainfall (in inches), days of sunlight and grape yields in hundreds of bushels of grapes produced per year. This wine maker now has 33 years of data and would like to be able to predict his crop yields based on the previous year’s weather.
A) Perform a regression analysis of the data in the picture below to determine which variable rainfall or a sunny day is the best predictor of yield. Include both regression lines as your answer.
B) Based off of the data in the picture below, which variable has the greatest influence (slope) on crop yield?
C) Using the data in the picture below, plot the exact regression line over scatter plots of the data for rainfall against crop yield and attach it as an image.
D) Using the data in the picture below, plot the exact regression line over scatter plots of the data for sunny days against crop yield and attach it as an image.
E) Using the data in the picture below, calculate and report the correlation and coefficient of determination. Use these statistics to determine whether we should be use either rainfall or number of sunny days to predict crop yield.
