The graph and accompanying table shown here display 12 observations of a pair of variables (x, y).
\n" ); document.write( "The variables x and y are positively correlated, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.96.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the slope, b, of the least squares regression line, y = a + bx, for these data? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
