Waterbury Insurance Company wants to study the relationship between the amount of fire damage and the distance between the burning house and the nearest fire station. This information will be used in setting rates for insurance coverage. For a sample of 30 claims for the last year, the director of the actuarial department determined the distance from the fire station (x) and the amount of fire damage, in thousands of dollars (y). The MegaStat output is reported below.

Foresters want to estimate the average age of trees in a stand. Determining age is cumbersome because one needs to count the tree rings on a core taken form the tree. In general, though, the older the tree, the larger the diameter, and diameter is easy to measure. The foresters measure the diameter of all 1132 trees and find that the population mean equals 10.3. They then randomly select 120 trees for age measurement. Tree No. Diameter, x Age, y Tree No. Diameter, x Age, y 1 12.0 125 11 5.7 61 11.4 119 12 8.0 80 3 7.9 83 13 10.3 114 4 9.0 85 14 12.0 147 5 10.5 99 15 9.2 122 7.9 117 16 8.5 106 7 7.3 69 17 7.0 82 10.2 133 18 10.7 88 9. 11.7 154 19 9.3 97 10 11.3 168 20 8.2 99 (a) Draw a scatterplot of y vs. r.
