Answer

a. see the plot. b. $r=0.91$ c. The correlation coefficient is significant at $\alpha=$0.01 d. $y = 2.6623x + 64.936$ e. see the plot. f. $86.23$

Work Step by Step

a. Draw the scatter plot. see the plot. b. Compute the value of the correlation coefficient. $r=0.91$ c. Test the significance of the correlation coefficient at $\alpha=$0.01, using Table I. $df=7, r_c=0.798, r> r_c$, the correlation coefficient is significant at $\alpha=$0.01 d. Determine the regression line equation if r is significant. $y = 2.6623x + 64.936$ 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. x=8 $y = 2.6623\times8 + 64.936=86.23$
