This study assessed the relationship between the distance (miles) and the severity of fire damage (a severity index marked by x1000). We want to see if we can predict the severity of the fire based on how far away the company is from the fire. Please use the accompanying data to answer the following questions. Distance Damage(*1000) 3.4 26.6 1.8 17.8 4.6 31.3 2.3 23.1 3.1 27.5 5.5 36.0 0.7 14.1 3.0 22.3 2.6 19.6 4.3 31.3 2.1 24.0 1.1 17.3 6.1 43.2 4.8 36.4 3.8 26.1  What visual aid is used to show the relationship between the two variables?  Can the regression equation be used to significantly predict? Please explain.  Using your prediction equation, please predict the severity of fire damage for a fire that is 5 miles away.  The researcher claims that distance away from a fire causes an increase in fire severity. True or false? Explain.
