Question

A data set is given below.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram. Comment on the type of relation that appears to exist between x and y.

(b) Given that

x overbarxequals=3.8333,

s Subscript xsxequals=2.4014,

y overbaryequals=3.9000,

s Subscript ysyequals=1.8100,

and

requals=negative 0.9387,

determine the least-squares regression line.

(c) Graph the least-squares regression line on the scatter diagram drawn in part (a).

A scatter diagram has a horizontal x-axis labeled from 0 to 6 in increments of 1 and a vertical y-axis labeled from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The following six points are plotted, listed from left to right: (0,6), (2,6), (4,4.6), (5,3), (6,2), (6,2.2). A line falling from left to right passes through the points (1,6) and (6,2.4). All vertical coordinates are approximate. The line passes within 1 vertical unit of all plotted points.

The following six points are plotted, listed from left to right: (0,0.2), (2,0.2), (4,1.4), (5,3.2), (6,4.2), (6,3.8). A line, rising from left to right, passes through the points (1,0) and (6, 4.4). All vertical coordinates are approximate. The line passes within 2 vertical units of all plotted points.

a)

option C) is correct

b)

a linear, negative

c)

option A) or B) is correct

since you didn't provide actual graph, it is difficult to answer

option A) is more appropriate here
