Question

5.34 Please complete both parts. Do Part (a) "by hand": the mean height of the brothers is 69 inches and the standard deviation is 2.72 inches, the mean height of the sisters is 64 inches and the standard deviation is 2.57 inches, and the correlation is 0.558. Draw the scatterplot by hand. The regression line can be approximate

in grade index among the students. What is the numer
between percent of classes attended and grade index?

(a) Use your calculator or software to find the correlation and the equation of the
least-squares line for predicting sister's height from brother's height. Make a
scatterplot of the data and add the regression line to your plot.
(b) Damien is 70 inches tall. Predict the height of his sister Tonya. Based on the
scatterplot and the correlation r, do you expect your prediction to be very ac-
curate? Why?
5.35 Keeping water clean. Keeping water supplies clean requires regular measurement
of levels of pollutants. The measurements are indirect-a typical analysis involves
forming a dye by a chemical reaction with the dissolved pollutant, then passing
light through the solution and measuring its "absorbence." To calibrate such mea-
