Gas Mileage Again in the Data Desk Lab Last Week $= 60.9 \% \quad$

Gas mileage again In the Data Desk lab last week you analyzed the association between a
car's fuel economy and its weight. Another important factor in the amount of gasoline a car
uses is the size of the engine. Called "displacement", engine size measures the volume of
the cylinders in cubic inches. The regression analysis is shown. Dependent variable is:
MPG
89 total cases of which 0 are missing
R squared $= 60.9 \% \quad$ R squared (adjusted) $= 60.0 \%$
$s = 3.056$ with $89 - 2 = 87$ degrees of freedom

a. How many cars were included in this analysis?
b. What is the correlation between engine size and fuel economy?
c. A car you are thinking of buying is available with two different size engines, 190 cubic
inches or 240 cubic inches. How much difference might this make in your gas mileage?
