The chart to the right shows a country's annual egg production. Model the data in the chart with a linear function, using the points (0,51.7) and (4,60.2). Let x = 0 represent 1995, x = 1 represent 1996, and so on, and let y represent the egg production (in billions). Predict egg production in 2001. How does the result compare to the actual data given in the table, 69.5?

Interpret the unstandardized coefficient for highest years of schooling. E.g., Is the relationship positive or negative? How does a one-unit change in schooling (i.e. an increase in one-year of education) influence Y? Interpret the constant (i.e. the intercept) in the equation? What does it indicate? Calculate the average number of hours watched for someone with 12 years of education.
