Answer

Males: y = 0.3428x + 998.45. This implies that for each increase in 1000 more male drivers, fatal crashes will increase by 0.3428 on average. Females: y = 0.1045x + 514.15. This implies that for each increase in 1000 more female drivers, fatal crashes will increase by 0.1045 on average. We observe that male drivers tend to have more fatal crashes. Based on this data, an insurance company can charge higher for male drivers.
