Question
  1. Based on the scatter plot above, describe the relationship between the amount of cost damage and the distance from nearest fire station to the residential. 

 

  1. Determine the regression line for the above regression output. 

 

  1. Interpret the slope coefficient of distance to the nearest station affecting the amount of fire cost damage. 

 

  1. Compute the correlation coefficient and interpret its meaning. 

 

  1. Does the distance to the nearest fire station has significant influence on the cost damage amount? Conduct a test at 1% significance level. ]

 

  1. Predict the fire cost damage generated if the distance from nearest fire station is 2.5 kilometers. Is this estimate reliable? Explain. []

 

(a) A fire safety inspector wants to investigate the amount of fire cost damage in major
residential affected by the distance (in km) from nearest fire station. A sample of 8
recent fires is selected and the safety inspector developed a scatter plot and summary
regression output concerning the amount of fire damage (in $). The scatterplot, output
and data are released as below:
