The following is a scatterplot of the
data:
The scatterplot suggests that a
linear regression fit will be appropriate.
(a)What is the explanatory variable and the response
variable?
(b) Find the correlation between boat registrations and manatee
deaths. (Round to the hundredths place.)
(c) What percent of the variation in manatees killed is
explained by the model?
(d) Find the least squares regression line for these data.
(Round all values to the hundredths place.)
(e) Predict how many manatees may die if 792 boats are
registered. (Round to the nearest whole number.)
