a. Analyze the above output to determine the regression equation. b. Find and interpret??1in the context of this problem. c. Find and interpret the coefficient of determination (r-squared). d. Find and interpret coefficient of correlation. e. Does the data provide significant evidence (a = .05) that the mileage can be used to predict the price? Test the utility of this model using a two-tailed test. Find the observed p-value and interpret. f. Find the 95% confidence interval for mean price of 3-year-old Chevy Corsicas that have 54,000 in mileage. Interpret this interval. g. Find the 95% prediction interval for the price of a single 3-year-old Chevy Corsica that has 54,000 in mileage. Interpret this interval. . h. What can we say about the price for a 3-year-old Chevy Corsica that has 80,000 in mileage? (Points : 48)
