The answer is highlighted and I put the work for checking the answer at the bottom
Answer:
<h2>Her prediction will be somewhat likely to be close to the actual value.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
A correlation coefficient of 0.55 implies a weak positive correlation, because it's close to 0.50. Remember that strong correlations are 1 or -1, positive or negative, and the middle of the interval represents no correlation.
Having said that, 0.55 indicates some correlation, but weak. Therefore, the right answer is C.
3.114
Step-by-step explanation:
Given slope of the line is 1.581,
Mean of the x-coordinate is 5.923,
Mean of the y-coordinate is 12.478
Equation of the line formula is
y = mx + c
12.478 = 1.581 × 5.923 + c
⇒ 12.478 = 9.364263 + c
⇒ c = 12.478 – 9.364263
⇒ c = 3.113737
⇒ c = 3.114 (Round off to three decimal places)
Hence, y-intercepts of the line to three decimal places is 3.114.
