Apperson and Fitz is a chain of clothing stores that caters to high school and college students. It publishes a quarterly catalogue and operates a Web site that features provocatively attired males and females. The Web site is very expensive to maintain, and company executives are not sure if the number of hits at the site relate to sales; that is, people may be looking at the site for the pictures rather than as potential customers. The Web master has accumulated the following data for hits per month and orders placed at the Web site for the past 20 months.

Develop a linear regression model for these data and indicate if there appears to be a strong relationship between Web site hits and orders. What would be the forecast for orders with 60,000 hits permonth?
