The U.S. government provides fuel economy (in milles per gallon) and other information about late model cars sold in the US. A linear regression model was used on the data to determine whether there was an association
between a car's engine displacement (Displacement) and fuel economy (MPG).
Use the StatCrunch output to answer the following question.
Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: MPG
Independent Variable: Displacement
MPG-37.49079-4357743 Displacement
Sample size: 35
R (correlation coefficient)--0.79692884
R-sq-0.63509558
Estimate of error standard deviation: 4.0040499
