 x	y
 1	1/3
 2	2/3
 3	1
 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?
 (Points : 4)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the table that follows, answer the following questions: x y
 1 1/3
 2 2/3
 3 1
 4 4/3
 --------------
 Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?:::positive: as x increases, y increases.
 --------------------------
 - Find the missing value of y in the table.:: 4/3
 ----------------------
 - How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?
 y = (1/3)x-(1/3)
 --------------------------
 - 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
