(a) Make a scatter diagram of the data. Then visualize the line you think best fits the data.
(b) Use a calculator to verify that ?x = 153.4, ?x2 = 3346.78, ?y = 246, ?y2 = 10330 and ?xy = 5522.9.***
Compute r. (Round to 3 decimal places.)As x increases, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.
i. Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
ii. Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.
iii. Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.
iv. Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.
