Answer

a. see the plot. b. $r=-0.974$ c. The correlation coefficient is significant at $\alpha=$0.01 d. $y = -0.1371x + 14.086$ e. see the plot. f. $4.21$

Work Step by Step

a. Draw the scatter plot. see the plot. b. Compute the value of the correlation coefficient. $r=-0.974$ c. Test the significance of the correlation coefficient at $\alpha=$0.01, using Table I. $df=10, r_c=0.708, |r|>r_c$ the correlation coefficient is significant at $\alpha=$0.01 d. Determine the regression line equation if r is significant. $y = -0.1371x + 14.086$ e. Plot the regression line on the scatter plot, if appropriate. see the plot. f. Predict y for a specific value of x, if appropriate. $y = -0.1371\times72 + 14.086=4.21$
