Deep-water (.300 m) wave forecasts are important for large cargo ships. One method of prediction suggests that the wind speed (x, in knots) is linearly related to the wave height (y, in feet). A random sample of buoys was obtained, and the wind speed and wave height was measured at each. The data are given in the following table.
a. Find the estimated regression line.
b. Complete the ANOVA table (without the p value).
c. Find the coefficient of determination. Interpret this value.
d. Suppose a 10-foot wave is considered to be the storm threshold. What wind speed yields an expected storm threshold?
