1. The following statistics were calculated from pairs of observations where X represents the independent variable and Y represents the dependent variable.
Σx = 511 Σy = 314 Σxy = 19,064
Σx^2 = 34,234.5 Σy^2 = 13,036 n = 8
a. Determine the least squares line.
Assume the equation of line is y=mx+b
m=(8*19064-511*314)/(8*34234.5-511^2)= -0.62266
b=(314+0.62266*511)/8=79.022
Therefore, the line of equation is: y=-0.62266x+79.022
b. Determine the sample correlation coefficient between X and Y.
R=(8*19064-511*314)/sqrt((8*34234.5-511^2)*(8*13036-314^2))= -0.932
c. Determine if ...
