Question 847015: Given the following information for Least-squares regression line to predict the price of a certain stock (y) from the prime interest rate in percent (x).
y = a + bx
a = 2.04528
b = 0.4323287293
r^2 = 0.370434899
r = 0.6806336328

What is the correlation between the interest rate and the yield of the stock?
Question 5 options:

2.045

0.6806

0.4323

0.3704
