Can a low barometer reading be used to predict maximum wind
speed of an approaching cyclone? Data for this problem are based on
information taken from Weatherwise, a publication of the American
Meteorological Society. For a random sample of tropical cyclones,
let x be the lowest pressure (in millibars) as a cyclone
approaches, and let y be the maximum wind speed ( in miles per
hour) of the cyclone x 1004 975 992 935 985 932 Y 40 100 65 145 80

a. (2 pts.) Make a scatter diagram and draw a line you think best
fits the data.
b. (3 pts.) Find the sample correlation coefficient r.
c. (3 pts.) Find the equation for the least squares regression
line
d. (2 pts.) Find the maximum wind speed when the barometric
pressure is 950.
