A) Compute the last-squares regression line for predicting US emission from NON US - emissions.b) If the non-US emission differ by 0.2 from one year to the next by how much would you predict the US- emission to differ? 24. Carbon footprint: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is produced by burning fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and has been connected toglobal warming. The following table presents the average amounts (in metric tons) of CO₂ emissions for the years 1997-2013 perperson in the United States and per person in the rest of the world.Year Non-U.S. U.S.199719981999200120022000 3.320032004200520063.4 20.020073.33.23.33.33.53.819.52008 4.719.62009 4.620.03.7 19.619.619.619.43.7 19.04.7 19.2Source: World Bank19.518.517.22010 4.6 17.52011 5.0 17.02012 5.0 16.32013 5.0 16.4

The euphotic zone is the upper 200 m layer of the oceans. Very little sunlight penetrates deeper than 200 m, so most plants live in the euphotic zone. As a result, 70% of all photosynthesis on Earth occurs in the euphotic zone of the oceans. The following table gives light penetration data for the location in the Pacific Ocean. Depth (m) Penetration of Sunlight (%) 0.01 100 20 54.37 40 29.57 60 16.08 80 8.74 100 4.76 a.
