Math Problem Statement
The following table gives the data for the average temperature and the snow accumulation in several small towns for a single month. Determine the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1x. Round the slope and y-intercept to the nearest thousandth. Then determine if the regression equation is appropriate for making predictions at the 0.01 level of significance.

Formulas
Regression line formula: ŷ = b0 + b1x
Slope: b1 = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)
Intercept: b0 = (Σy - b1Σx) / n
Pearson Correlation Coefficient: r = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / sqrt((nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)(nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2))
