These data are listed in the table.
a. Graph the data in a
b. A simple linear
c. If possible, give a practical interpretation of the estimate of β0. If no practical interpretation is possible, explain why.
d. If possible, give a practical interpretation of the estimate of β1. If no practical interpretation is possible, explain why.
