Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given a point and slope we use the formula

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (15,8) and the slope is 6/5

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve

That's

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Answer:

a) $r=\frac{4(333)-(200)(5.37)}{\sqrt{[4(12000) -(200)^2][4(9.3501) -(5.37)^2]}}=0.9857$

The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables

b) $m=\frac{64.5}{2000}=0.03225$

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{200}{4}=50$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{5.37}{4}=1.3425$

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=1.3425-(0.03225*50)=-0.27$

So the line would be given by:

$y=0.3225 x -0.27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The correlation coeffcient is given by this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

For our case we have this:

n=4 $\sum x = 200, \sum y = 5.37, \sum xy = 333, \sum x^2 =12000, \sum y^2 =9.3501$

$r=\frac{4(333)-(200)(5.37)}{\sqrt{[4(12000) -(200)^2][4(9.3501) -(5.37)^2]}}=0.9857$

The correlation coefficient for this case is very near to 1 so then we can ensure that we have linear correlation between the two variables

Part b

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=12000-\frac{200^2}{4}=2000$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=333-\frac{200*5.37}{4}=64.5$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{64.5}{2000}=0.03225$

Now we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{200}{4}=50$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{5.37}{4}=1.3425$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=1.3425-(0.03225*50)=-0.27$

So the line would be given by:

$y=0.3225 x -0.27$
