1. State the regression equation with the values for a and b.
2. Use the equation to predict homicide rates for states with unemployment rates of 2 % (X=2), 5 % (X= 5), 10 % (X= 10) and 15 % (X=15 %). What happens to homicide rates as unemployment increases? Does this mean that unemployment causes murder? Why or why not?
