A biologist looked at the relationship between number of seeds a plant produces and the percent of those seeds that sprout. The results of the survey are shown below.

 

Seeds Produced 44 69 42 45 57 51 59 43 40
Sprout Percent 61 50.5 72 71.5 54.5 60.5 56.5 63.5 62
  1.  r2 =?  (Round to 3decimal places)  
  2. The equation of the linear regression line is:   
    ˆy^ =?  + ?x  (Please show your answers to 3 decimal places)  

  3. Use the model to predict the percent of seeds that sprout if the plant produces 53 seeds.
    Percent sprouting = ? (Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
