For June through September of 1999 the rainfall and yield pe
Solution
Using technology, we get
slope = 0.459651574
intercept = 14.58567414
Thus, the regression line is
y^ = 0.459651574 x + 14.58567414
Thus, if x = 15
Then
y^ = 21.48044776
Also, getting the correlation,
r = 0.822883647
The standard error of the estimate is
sy = 1.175493195
Note that
Lower Bound = y^ - t(alpha/2) * sy
Upper Bound = y^ - t(alpha/2) * sy
where
df = 6
y^ = point estimate = 21.48044776
t(alpha/2) = critical t for the confidence interval = 2.570581836
sy = standard error = 1.175493195
Thus,
Lower bound = 18.45874631
Upper bound = 24.50214921
Thus, the confidence interval is
( 18.45874631 , 24.50214921 ) [ANSWER]
