Refer to the Journal of Biogeography (Dec. 2003) study of ant sites in Mongolia, presented in Exercise 11.26 (p. 599). You applied the method of least squares to estimate the straight-line model relating annual rainfall (y) and maximum daily temperature (x). A SAS printout giving 95% prediction intervals for the amount of rainfall at each of the 11 sites is shown at the bottom of the page. Select the interval associated with site (observation) 7 and interpret it practically.
