Expert Solution
1.
Regression equation-
Regression equation of y on x is given by
Number of pairs of observation 
So, estimated unemployment rate in case of years of education
95% confidence interval-
Corresponding statistic is given by
Sample size
Sample standard deviation is given by
Degrees of freedom 
We know,
[Using R-code 'qt(1-(1-0.95)/2,6)']
Hence, 95% prediction intervahl is (d) (12.67, 19.87).

What is Accessibility?
A 1997 report by the U.S. Census Bureau categorizes 19.6% of the
