The flow rate in a device used for air quality measurement depends on the pressure drop x (inches of water) across the device's filter. Suppose that for x values between 5 and 20, these two variables are related according to the simple linear regression model with true regression line y = -0.11 + 0.093x. (a) What is the true average flow rate for a pressure drop of 15 in.? A drop of 20 in.? (b) What is the true average change in flow rate associated with a 1 inch increase in pressure drop? (c) What is the average change in flow rate when pressure drop decreases by 5 in.?
