Fire damage in the United States amounts to billions of dollars, much of it insured. The time taken to arrive at the fire is critical. This raises the question, Should
insurance companies lower premiums if the home to be insured is close to a fire station? To help make a decision, a study was undertaken wherein a number of fires
were investigated. The distance to the nearest fire station (in miles) and the percentage of fire damage were recorded.
Now, consider the linear model:
Y = Bo + B12 tôi
where ~ N (0,0²).
Using R, find the least-squares regression line for predicting Percent from Distance.
Provide the numerical value of the least-squares estimator of B₁. Your final answer must be a number. Round it to 4 decimal places. Thanks!
