Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. 203 x days y km/100 72 76 32 14.7 94 11.7 19.5 5.3 35.6 (a) Verify that Ex = 477, Ey = 86.8, Ex? = 62,029, Ey2 = 2028.68, Exy = 11036.6, and r= 0.93853.

Suppose that for a typical FedEx package delivery, the cost of the shipment is a function of the weight of the package measured in ounces. You want to try to predict the cost of a typical shipment given package dimensions. If 10 packages in a city are sampled and the regression output is given below, report the regression equation. 1)  (cost of delivery) = 1.468*(weight) - 23.015   2)  (weight) = -23.015*(cost of delivery) + 1.468   3)  (cost of delivery) = -23.015*(weight) + 1.468   4)  (cost of delivery) = 1.468*(weight)   5)  (weight) = 1.468*(cost of delivery) - 23.015

Find the regression equation, letting overhead width be the predictor (x) variable. Find the best predicted weight of a seal if the overhead width measured from a photograph is 2.3 cm. Can the prediction be correct? What is wrong with predicting the weight in this case? Use a significance level of 0.05.
