Textbook Question
Chapter 9.4, Problem 1JC
Recall the regression example in Chapter 7 to predict hurricane maximum wind speed from central barometric pressure. Another researcher, interested in the possibility that global warming was causing hurricanes to become stronger, added the variable Year as a predictor and obtained the following regression: (Data in Hurricanes 2015)
Dependent variable is: Max. Winds (kn)
R-squared = 80.6 s = 8.13
| Variable | Coefficient |
| Intercept | 1032.01 |
| Central Pressure | –0.975 |
| Year | –0.00031 |
1. Interpret the R2 of this regression.

Question 9 of 15
You want to estimate a model on car production (units) based on the previous year data on the number of cars sold (units), price of cars ($/unit), and total sales of cars ($). The regression
would be car production on the number of cars sold, price of cars, total sales of cars, and a constant. Describe the problem with this model.

In a 2020 report, Lea, an employee at the Ministry of Health, discussed the relationship between mean
annual temperature (x) and the mortality rate (y) for a type of skin cancer (Melanoma) in women at a Health
Conference in Jamacia. The data below contains the mean annual temperature (in degrees Celsius) and
Mortality Index for Melanoma. Use the data presented on these two variables to answer the following
questions.
