Consider the following regression equation representing the linear relationship between the Canada Child Benefit provided for a married couple with 3 children under the age of 6, based on their annual family net income:
 ŷ =121.09−0.57246xR2=0.894 
where y= annual Canada Child Benefit paid (in $100s)
           x = net annual family income (in $1000s)
