The managers of an electric utility wish to examine the relationship
between temperature and electricity use in the utility's service region
during the summer months. In particular, the managers wish to be able
to predict total electricity use for a day from the maximum temperature
that day. The bivariate data below give the maximum temperature (in
degrees Fahrenheit) and the electricity use (in thousands of kilowatt
hours) of electricity generated and sold for a random sample of sixteen
summer days. A best-fitting line for the data, obtained from least-
squares regression, is given by =53.28 + 3.07.x, in which x denotes the
maximum temperature and y denotes the electricity use. This line is
shown in the Figure 1 scatter plot.
