A local entrprenuer is considering investing in a car wash. She has done some research and discovered a potential relationship between rainfall (in mm) and the number of car washes for the region. A bright young student from GMU suggested a regression analysis might help in predicting future activity at the car wash. Help the entreprenuer 1) prepare a model, assess it's goodness, and 3) if appropriate use the model to predict possible number of car washes at 25 mm and at 70 mm of rain. Intertret the model and comment.
