Question
A researcher wants to determine if the number of years of education for a parent correlates with the number of years of education for their child. The table shows the number of years of education of the parent and the number of years of education of their child for a random sample of 7.
Years of Education of Parent: 13, 9, 12, 10, 12, 10, 12
Years of Education of their Child: 15, 11, 10, 16, 17, 12, 17
Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant
There is a significant correlation between the variables and the regression equation is y' = 5.333 + 0.777x
There is a significant correlation between the variables and the regression equation is y' = 0.777 + 5.333x
There is not a significant correlation between the variables, so the regression equation should not be determined.
There is a significant correlation between the variables and the regression equation is y' = 8.451 + 0.1923x

Sample: 86,75, 83, 84, 81, 77, 78, 79, 79,81, 76, 85, 70,76, 79,81, 73, 74, 72, 83. 1) Does this sample indicate that the insurance company should change its premiums because life expectancy has increased? 2) For more accurate cost determination, the insurance companies want to estimate the life expectancy to within one year with 95% confidence.
