Manatees (slow moving sea creatures) have been dying at an alarming rate off the coast of Florida due to collisions with power boats. Marine Biologists are investigating the relationship between power boat registrations in the state of Florida and the number of Manatee deaths due to collisions with power boats. Here are some data, covering a span of 33 years, on the number of power boats (in thousands) registered in the state of Florida and the corresponding number of Manatee deaths (due to power boats) that year. Boats Deaths Boats Deaths Boats Deaths 445 12 680 42 825 82 465 23 712 47 881 77 482 27 715 45 940 82 503 20 684 51 965 98 514 28 680 38 974 71 510 15 679 39 982 71 529 11 700 52 1009 74 555 36 717 43 1023 95 588 38 733 58 1031 77 613 31 756 49 1014 91 646 39 807 68 985 98 We want to investigate the relationship between power boats and Manatee deaths by performing linear regression on this data, with Boats as the explanatory variable (x) and Deaths as the response variable (y).
