The following data relate road width x and accident frequency y. Road width (in feet) was treated as the independent variable, and values y of the random variable Y, in accidents per 108 vehicle miles, were observed.
Assume that Y is normally distributed with mean A + Bx and constant variance for all x and that the sample is random. Interpolate if necessary.
(a) Fit a least-squares line to the data, and forecast the accident frequency when the road width is 55 feet
(b) Construct a 95 percent prediction interval for Y, a future observation of Y+, corresponding to x+ = 55 feet.
(c) Suppose that two future observations on Y, both corresponding to x+ = 55 feet, are to be made. Construct prediction intervals for both of these observations so that the probability is at least 95 percent that both future values of Y will fall into them simultaneously.
(d) Construct a simultaneous tolerance interval for the future value of Y corresponding to x+ = 55 feet with P = 0.90 and 1 α = 0.95.

Independent normal random variables with mean
: The following data are observations yi on a dependent random variable Y taken at various levels of an independent variable x. [It is assumed that E(Yi|xi) = A + Bxi, and the Yi are independent normal random variables with mean 0 and variance σ2.]
