Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees.
Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person.
Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation.
Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.

- In the United States, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher. (A blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 indicates 0.08% alcohol in the blood.)

Also shown is a line that passes through or near the data points.

A sample of 15 recent fires in a large suburb of a major city was selected. For each fire, the following variables were recorded: x= the distance between the fire and the nearest fire station (in miles) y= cost of damage (in dollars) The distances between the fire and the nearest fire station ranged between 0.7 miles and 6.1 miles. The correlation between cost and distance is 0.961. Test if the correlation is significant at a=.10. O No, the correlation is not significant because 0.961 does not exceed the critical value. O Yes, the correlation is significant because 0.961 exceeds the critical value. No, the correlation is not significant because 0.961 exceeds the critical value.
