Question
8. The following data gives values for the fuel used to heat a house for a month, and the number
of degree-days (which measures the extent to which the temperature was below 20°).

a) Draw a scatter plot. Does there visually appear to be a significant correlation?
b) Determine the correlation coefficient? Is there a significant correlation?
c) Determine the equation of the regression line.
d) Predict the fuel use when a month has 20 degree-days.
e) Suppose the next month has 20 degree-days, and the fuel use is 5.5. Explain why this
answer is different from d).
