Question

A sixth-grade teacher believes that there is a relationship between his students’ IQ
scores (y) and the numbers of hours (x) they spend watching television each week. The
following table shows a random sample of 7 sixth-grade students.
y 125 116 97 114 85 107 105
x 5 10 30 16 41 28 21
 Which one is the explanatory variable? And which one is the response variable?
 Assuming that a linear relationship exists between the IQ score of a student and the
number of hours he/she spends watching television each week, use computer software to
find the least squares line relating y to x. Give a scatterplot along with the least-squares
regression line. (Just copy the graph from the monitor onto the paper. You don’t need
to print out the graph.) Then interpret the value of the slope of the least squares line in
the above context.
