Transcribed Image Text:Use the information provided below to answer questions 11 to 15. X3108.88 The operations manager of a logistics company wants to unpack how different driving behaviours affect fuel economy. He suspects that by establishing the mathematical relationship between average speed and fuel economy, efficient techniques can be adopted to save fuel and money. Accordingly, a measuring device has been installed in each of the company's brand new long-haul trucks, and the average speed (km/h) and fuel expenditure (R/km) of each driver are constantly monitored. The data of 10 randomly selected long-haul drivers of newly launched Volvo trucks during August 2022 are captured in the Table 2 below.
