Given: b) When there is no strong curvature presents in the scatterplot, then it is safe to assume that there is a linear relationship between the variables and thus it is then reasonable to find a regression line. We note that the scatterplot of part (a) does not contain strong curvature and thus is reasonable to find the regression line. c) We determine all necessary sums:
d) Let us evalute the regression line in part (c) at
Use the sample data to construct a scatterplot.
Use the first variable for the x-axis. Based on the scatterplot, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?
