Explanation / Answer

Independent variable, X: boats

Dependent variable, Y : manatees

Following is the output of regression analysis:

(a)

The correlation coefficient is:

r = 0.955

(b)

The least square regression line is:

y' = -45.098 + 0.132x

(c)

The predicted number of deaths for x = 900 is

y' = -45.098 + 0.132 * 900 = 73.702

Answer: 73.7

(d)

The predicted number of deaths for x = 0 is

y' = -45.098 + 0.132 * 0 = -45.1

Answer: -45.1
