City officials believe that the number of complaints to the city's heat complaint control board (for lack of heat) is directly related to the outdoor temperature. The following data have been collected: Number of complaints to Heat Control Board (24-hour period), y Outdoor Temperature, x 30°F 25°F 20°F 15ºF 10°F 5ºF 0°F 58 67 84 90 102 113 127 a. Determine the correlation coefficient between the outdoor temperature and the number of complaints. Is it reliable? b. Determine the least-squares prediction equation. c. What is the predicted number of complaints to the city's heat complaint control board when the outside temperature drops to 8°F?
