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?

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 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
