1) A hydrologist creates a model to predict the volume flow for a stream at a bridge crossing with a predictor variable of daily rainfall in inches.

Volumeflow = 1.6 + 29 rainfall

According to his model, what is the volume flow if the daily rainfall in inches? round your answer to 1 decimal place. 

2) The following linear regression model can be used to predict ticket sales at a popular water park.

Ticket sales per hour =-631.25+11.25(current temperature F)

Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the slope?

A) A one  degree increase in temperature is associated with an average increase in ticket sales of 11.25 tickets.

B) A one degree increase in temperature is associated with an average  decrease in ticket sale of 11.25 ticket.

C) The slope tells us that high temperature is causing more people to buy ticket to the water park.

D) None of these
