1. Fill in the blank: For these data values for electricity use that are less than the mean of the values for electricity use tend to be paired with temperature values that are the mean of the temperature values.
Choose one: greater than or less than.
2. Fill in the blank: According to the regression equation, for an increase of one degree Fahrenheit in temperature, there is a corresponding increase of 3.10 thousands of kilowatt hours in electricity use.
Choose one:
What was the observed electricity use (in thousands of kilowatt hours) when the temperature was 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit?
From the regression equation, what is the predicted electricity use (in thousands of kilowatt hours) when the temperature is 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.)
