1. Use this formula to calculate correlation coefficient for the following data:
r= ss(xy)/square root (ss(x) * ss(y)

X 2 4 3 4 0
Y 6 7 5 6 3

2. If a sample of size 18 has a linear correlation coefficient, r = -0.5, is there significant reason to conclude that the linear correlation coefficient of the population is negative? Use alpha = 0.01

3.
Distance 1 3 5 5 7 7 8 10 10 12
Time 5 10 15 20 15 25 20 25 35 35

a. Draw a scatter diagram of these data.

b. Find the equation that describes the regression line for these data.
