(a) Determine the regression equation for predicting the number of electric cars per capita based on a city's electric energy consumption per capita.

(b) Calculate the 95% confidence interval of the regression line by computing confidence intervals on various mean responses. Present a graph of the confidence interval to go with your answer.

Suppose data for the electric energy consumption per capita and the number of electric cars per capita in
a given year for eight cities in Canada are summarized as below.
Electric Energy Consumption Number of Electric Cars Sold
Per Capita, X
City
