Extracted text: The next four questions (29 to 32) refer to the following: To most Canadians, earthquakes are viewed as rare occurrences, but they are actually quite common. In just one month in 2001, Natural Resources Canada recorded 215 earthquakes that affected Canada from B.C. to Nunavut to Newfoundland. We would like to determine whether there is a linear relationship between the location of an earth- quake X (measured in degrees latitude north of the equator) and the magnitude of the earthquake Y (measured on the Richter scale). The explanatory and response variables are measured for a sample of 13 earthquakes. The equation of the least squares regression line is ŷ = -3.05+ 0.10x. The ANOVA table is showm below: ге Source of Variation df Sum of Squares Mean Square F Regression Error Total 1.40 25.10
