A. Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?
B. Find the missing value of y in the table.
C. How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?
D. 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?
Please show your steps so I can figure out how to do this stuff. Thank you so much for your help. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
x ... y
1 ... 1/3 1/3 = k*1 k = 1/3
2 ... 2/3
3 ... 1
4 ....4/3
A. Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative?
y = 1/3x Positive correlation
B. Find the missing value of y in the table. 4/3
C. How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression?
values of this table used as ordered pairs(x,y) would be collinear.
D. 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? positive
