Wisconsin is an important milk-producing state. Some people might argue that because of
transportation costs, the cost of milk increases with the distance of markets from Wisconsin. Suppose
the milk prices in eight cities are as follows.
Cost of
Milk
(per
gallon)

Distance from
Madison
(miles)

$2.64
2.31
2.45
2.52
2.19

1,346

a. Use the prices along with the distance of each city from Madison,Wisconsin, to develop a regression
line to predict the price of a gallon of milk by the number of miles the city is from Madison.
