Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is expanding. If \(v\) is a galaxy's recession velocity (relative to any other galaxy) and \(d\) is its distance (from that same galaxy), Hubble's law states that

\[ v=H d \]

where \(H\) is known as Hubble's constant. The following are distance (in millions of lightyears) and velocity (thousands of miles per second) measurements made on five galactic clusters.

State the regression model and estimate \(H\).
