Freezing temperature. Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are liquids used in antifreeze and deicing solutions. Ethylene glycol is listed as a hazardous chemical by the Environmental Protection Agency, while propylene glycol is generally regarded as safe. Table 12 lists the freezing temperature for various concentrations (as a percentage of total weight) of each chemical in a solution used to deice airplanes. A linear regression model for the ethylene glycol data in Table 12 is

E = -0.55T + 31

where E is the percentage of ethylene glycol in the deicing solution and T is the temperature at which the solution freezes.

(A) Draw a scatter plot of the data and a graph of the model on the same axes.

(B) Use the model to estimate the freezing temperature to the nearest degree of a solution that is 30% ethylene glycol. 2°F

(C) Use the model to estimate the percentage of ethylene Glycol in a solution that freezes at 15°F.
