Question: Each month for several months, the average temperature in C (x) and the amount of steam in kg (y) consumed by a certain chemical plant
Each month for several months, the average temperature in ◦C (x) and the amount of steam in kg (y) consumed by a certain chemical plant were measured.
The least-squares line computed from the resulting data is y = 245.82 + 1.13x.
a. Predict the amount of steam consumed in a month where the average temperature is 65◦C.
b. If two months differ in their average temperatures by 5◦C, by how much do you predict the amount of steam consumed to differ?
