2. The owner of several used-car dealerships believes that the
selling price of a used car can best be predicted using the car's
age. He uses data on the recent selling price (in $) and age of
20 used sedans to estimate Price = Po + B₁Age + ε. A portion
of the regression results is shown in the accompanying table.

Bo+B,Education + B₂Experience + B3Age+e, where Wage
is the hourly wage rate and Education, Experience, and Age
are the years of higher education, the years of experience, and
the age of the worker, respectively. A portion of the regression

Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers?
