Use the data from question 27 and your results from question 28 to estimate the number of accidents for each trucker. Also calculate the errors from the regression line.

Question 27

Suppose you are a safety consultant for the Department of Transportation. You are interested in the relationship between the number of miles a trucker drives per year and the number of accidents he or she has per year. You collect the following information from 6 truckers.
