People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees. Interpret the meaning of the coefficient of determination in this problem. Perform a residual analysis on the results and determine the adequacy of the model. Determine whether there is a significant relationship between the height of redwood trees and the breast height diameter at the 0.05 level of significance.
