1) Is a regression model appropriate for these data? Explain.
2) What interpretation (if any) can you give for the R in the regression table?
3) Write the equation for the line of regression for predicting acres per fire from years since 1985.
4) Predict the acres per fire for a fire occurring in 2025. Is this a reliable prediction? Why or why not?
5) What does it mean if the residual for a fire is negative?
