A study examined the number of trees in a variety of orange groves and the corresponding number of oranges that each grove produces in a given harvest year. Linear regression was calculated and the results are below.
linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: oranges
Independent Variable: trees Sample size: 9
R-sq = 0.886 s = 31394.7

$\begin{array}{|l|r|r|}
\hline \text { Parameter} &\text { Estimate} &\text { Std. Err. } \
\hline \text { Constant }& 390.59 & 16328.8 \
\hline \text { Trees} & 525.84 & 71.22 \
