They compute a regression line for predicting the number of asthma admissions based on how far the daily temperature is from freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and find that the number of asthma admissions = .22 + 1.8(degrees over 32 F). All the following statements about the regression equation are true EXCEPT

a. The minimum number of admissions is .22 per day

b. None of the above

c. For every 1.8 degree increase in temperature, there is one additional asthma admission per day
