Question:

Concrete expands both horizontally and vertically over time. Measurements of horizontal and vertical expansion (in units of parts per hundred thousand) were made at several locations on a bridge in Quebec City in Canada. The results are presented in the following table.image text in transcribed

a. Compute the least-squares line for predicting vertical expansion (y) from horizontal expansion (x).

b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the slope β1.

c. Test H0: β1 = 0 versus H1: β1 ≠ 0.

Can you conclude that horizontal expansion is useful in predicting vertical expansion? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance.
