a. Based on this data, does there appear to be a relationship between
the recorded magnitude and the recorded latitude of seismic
activity? If so, what is the relationship?
b. If we learn that an earthquake has occurred at a latitude of 64°N,
what would you predict the magnitude of that event to be? Be sure
to include your regression equation here. 5
