Question
Wildfires 2010—sizes We saw in Exercise 51 that the
number of fires was nearly constant. But has the dam-
age they cause remained constant as well? Here’s a re-
gression that examines the trend in Acres per Fire, (in
hundreds of thousands of acres) together with some
supporting plots:
a) Is the regression model appropriate for these data?
Explain.
b) What interpretation (if any) can you give for the R2
in
the regression table?
