2. For the given data compute each of the following.
(c) The slope b and y intercept a of the least-squares line; write out the equation for the least-squares line.
(d) Graph the least-squares line on your scatterplot of
Problem 1
3. Compute the sample correlation coefficient r. Compute the coefficient of determination. Give a brief explanation of the meaning of the coefficient of determination in the context of this problem.
