You generate a scatter plot using Excel. You then have Excel plot the trend line and report the equation and the r2r2 value. The regression equation is reported asy=55.82x+32.43y=55.82x+32.43and the r2=0.3136r2=0.3136.What is the correlation coefficient for this data set?r =

use the sample data to construct a scatterplot. Use the first variable for the x-axis. Based on the scatterplot, what do you conclude about a linear correlation? FORECAST AND ACTUAL TEMPERATURES The table lists actual high temperatures and the high temperatures that were previously forecasted for these same days. The table includes data for ten different days near the author’s home. What does the result suggest about the accuracy of five-day predicted high temperatures?

Construct a scatter plot for the given data. Determine whether there is a positive correlation, negative correlation, or no linear correlation. x-5-34 1 |-1-202 3-4 y11 6 |-6-13 4 1-4-58

Two variables are found to have a strong positive linear correlation. Pick the correct statement. An increase in one variable potentially causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable does not cause an increase in the other. An increase in one variable potentially causes an increase in the other. An increase in one variable causes a decrease in the other. An increase in one variable causes an increase in the other.

ev The table below gives the list price and the number of bids received for five randomly selected items sold through online auctions. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, y = bo + b₁x, for predicting the number of bids an item will receive based on the list price. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.
