- An oil exploration company wants to develop a statistical model to predict the cost of drilling a new well. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of the cost is the number of feet in depth that the must be drilled to create the well. Consequently, the company decided to fit the simple linear regression model, where y = cost of drilling the new well (in $thousands) and x = number of feet drilled to create the well.
