Each month for several months, the average temperature in C (x) and the number of pounds

Chapter 7, Problem 1

(choose chapter or problem)

Each month for several months, the average temperature in \({ }^{\circ} C(x)\) and the number of pounds of steam \((y)\) consumed by a certain chemical plant were measured. The least-squares line computed from the resulting data is \(y=245.82+1.13 x\).

a. Predict the number of pounds of steam consumed in a month where the average temperature is \(65^{\circ} C\).

b. If two months differ in their average temperatures by \(5^{\circ} C\), by how much do you predict the number of pounds of steam consumed to differ?
