5.25. Representative data on x = carbonation depth (in millimeters) and y = strength (in megapascals) for a sample of concrete core specimens taken from a particular building were read from a plot in the article “The Carbonation of Concrete Structures in the Tropical Environment of Singapore” (Magazine of Concrete Research [1996]: 293-300):
    Depth, x        8.0    20.0    20.0    30.0    35.0   40.0    50.0    55.0    65.0
    Strength, y    22.8    17.1    21.1    16.1    13.4  12.4    11.4    9.7    6.8


a.    Construct a scatterplot. Does the relationship between carbonation depth and strength appear to be linear? 
Yes, the relationship between carbonation depth and strength appears to be linear however it is a negative linear relation. 

b.    Find the equation of the of the least-squares line.
c.    What would you predict for strength when carbonation depth is 25 mm?
d.    Explain why it would not be reasonable to use the least-squares line to predict strength when carbonation depth is 100 mm.
