Question

Find the regression​ equation, letting the first variable be the predictor​ (x) variable. Using the listed​ lemon/crash data, where lemon imports are in metric tons and the fatality rates are per​ 100,000 people, find the best predicted crash fatality rate for a year in which there are 450 metric tons of lemon imports. Is the prediction​ worthwhile?

Lemon Imports 231    268    350 461    550
Crash Fatality Rate    15.9    15.6    15.2 15.3    15

Find the equation of the regression line.

y =_______+_______x (Round the constant three decimal places as needed. Round the coefficient to six decimal places as​ needed.)
The best predicted crash fatality rate for a year in which there are 450 metric tons of lemon imports is ______fatalities per​ 100,000 population.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Is the prediction​ worthwhile?

A. Since the sample size is​ small, the prediction is not appropriate.

B. Since common sense suggests there should not be much of a relationship    between the two​ variables, the prediction does not make much sense.

C. Since all of the requirements for finding the equation of the regression line are​ met, the prediction is worthwhile.

D. Since there appears to be an​ outlier, the prediction is not appropriate.
