Example<br />
The following data were collected by a UK Gas supply company. It shows, for a house<br />
in London, the weekly gas consumption, y, in thousands of cubic feet, and the<br />
average outside temperature, x° C.<br />
week 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10<br />
x 7.0 6.2 3.5 3.0 4.0 8.2 2.7 -1.0 7.0 7.8<br />
y 3.5 4.2 5.6 6.0 5.0 4.1 6.2 7.5 4.5 4.2<br />
(a) Calculate the regression line of gas consumption on average outside temperature.<br />
(b) Evaluate the residuals for the points where x = 3.0° and x = 7.8°<br />
(c) Find an estimate for the weekly gas consumption when the outside<br />
temperature is 5°C.
