Hurricanes. The following data represent the maximum wind speed (in knots) and atmospheric pressure (in millibars) for a random sample of hurricanes that originated in the Atlantic Ocean. Does atmospheric pressure play a role in the wind speed of a hurricane?

Use the results from Problem 22 in Section 4.2 to answer the following questions:

(a) Treating atmospheric pressure as the explanatory variable, x, determine the estimates of 0 and 1.

(b) Compute the standard error of the estimate.

(c) Determine whether the residuals are normally distributed.

(d) Determine sb1.

(e) If the residuals are normally distributed, test whether a linear relation exists between the atmospheric pressure and wind speed at the  = 0.01 level of significance.

(f) If the residuals are normally distributed, construct a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the true least-squares regression line.

(g) What is the mean wind speed of a hurricane whose atmospheric pressure is 995 mb?
