Hi Zeda, The short answer to your question is no. All you have are the parameter estimates with no information on variability which you would need to create a prediction interval. Given the great ease of fitting models in R, I would offer to refit the model for my boss, and then (with the model in R), just use its handy predict() function to calculate whatever predictions with any desired confidence with ease (and graph them). See ?predict and for basic linear models ?lm
