Question 507054: For the table that follows, answer the following question.
x....y
1....1
2....4
3....7
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?

For the table that follows, answer the following question.
x....y
1....1
2....4
3....7
4....7+3 = 10
Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?
--
As x increases, y increases.
Ans: positive
-----------------------------
Find the missing value of y in the table:::10
-----------------------
How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?
y = 3x - 2
-----------------------
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: slope = 3 is positive
