An association was formed by students to protest labor
exploitation in the apparel industry. There were 18
student​ "sit-ins" for a​ "sweat-free campus" organized
at several universities. Data were collected for the
duration​ (in days) of each​ sit-in, as well as the
number of student arrests. The data for 5​ sit-ins in which
there was at least one arrest and the results of a simple linear
regression are found below. Let y be the number of arrests and x be
the duration. Complete parts a through
c.
