Question 484556: For the table that follows, answer the following questions:
x y
1 7
2 10
3 13
4





- Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?

- Find the missing value of y in the table.

- How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?

- If a “line of best fit” is placed among these points plotted on a coordinate system, would the slope of this line be positive or negative?

Thanks to you

For the table that follows, answer the following questions:
x y
1 7
2 10
3 13
4
------------------------------------------
- Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?
Positive because the data is linear.
-------------------------------------------
- Find the missing value of y in the table.
y increases 3 when x increases by 1
-------------------------------------------
- How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?
The points lie on the line y = 3x + 4
-------------------------------------------
- If a “line of best fit” is placed among these points plotted on a coordinate system, would the slope of this line be positive or negative?
Ans: Positive
