Answer
We can examine the relationship using a scatter plot and draw conclusions using a regression line. Solve: The scatter plot of the data is below. We have:
$\hat y = 92.29 - 0.05762 x$ and $r^{2} = .646$.
The relationship is negative, and there is a moderate association between reduction in percent of grasslands burn and population of beast. Hence, we can conclude that increased population of beast helps reduce grass burn.
