Researchers want to determine if heavier cars use more gasoline? To answer this question, a researcher randomly selected 15 cars. He collected their weight (in hundreds of pounds) and the mileage (MPG) for each car. From a scatterplot made with the data, a linear model seemed appropriate and the following output was obtained in photo below. Question: Determine the proportion of the variation in mileage is accounted for by the linear relationship with the weight of the car and also determine the estimate of the regression standard deviation.

The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is a major cause of global warming. Using data obtained by Charles David Keeling, professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the average amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2016 is approximated by A(t) = 0.012414t2 + 0.7485t + 313.9 (1 ≤ t ≤ 59) where A(t) is measured in parts per million volume (ppmv) and t in years, with t = 1 corresponding to 1958.† Find the average amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from 1958 through 2016.
