FDA asks you for your help to find it out. You interviewed twenty people who have smoked and obtained the following data. II. Technical report: a) Draw a scatter plot. b) Based on the scatter plot, explain whether the number of years and the percentage of lung damage are correlated. If they are correlated, discuss the strength of correlation, and the direction (positive or negative). c) Find the correlation coefficient r. Explain what r implies. d) Choose your own significance level a (1 suggests 0.1, 0.05 or 0.01). State and test the hypothesis. Explain what your findings mean. e) Do your observations in part (b) agree to the results from part (c) and (d)? Explain f) Find the regression line equation. Explain what the line implies. g) Draw the regression line on your scatter plot. h) A man has…
