Find the equation of the least-squares line for the stride length and speed of camels given in the table below. Stride Length (m) 2.5 3.0 3.2 3.4 Speed (m/s) 2.3 3.9 4.1 5.0 3.5 3.8 4.0 4.2 5.5 6.2 7.1 7.6 Use the equation of the least-squares line from to predict the average speed (in meters per second) of a camel with a stride length of 3.7 meters. Round your results to the nearest tenth of a meter per second. (See Example 2 in this section.) m/s

The number of banks in a country has been dropping steadily since 1984, and the trend in recent years has been roughly linear. The annual data for the years 1999 through 2008 can be summarized as follows, where x represents the years since 1990 and y the number of banks, in thousands. n=10 Ex-235 ²-5605 Ey-77.564 Ey²=603.80424 Exy-1810.155 a. Find an equation for the least squares line. b. Use your result from part a to predict the number of banks in the year 2020. c. If this trend continues linearly, in what year will the number of banks drop below 6200? d. Find and interpret the correlation coefficient.

Based on the box plot, what are the range and ther interquartile range?

Find the z-score corresponding to a score of X=50. u=60 and o=5 u=45 and o=5 u=40 and o=5 u=37 and o=5 u=59 and o=5

A researcher want to know if there is a relationship between sleep and anxiety.  The researcher randomly selected n = 5 participants and asked each to rate their sleep quality and anxiety level on a scale of 1 to 5.  The data are below: Sleep X  Anxiety Y 2 2 3 3 2 2 4 2 5 2 Calculate the Sum of Squares for X (SSX)

Suppose a researcher collects data on the air pollution levels, measured in milligrams per cubic meter, for both urban and rural areas in 35 states. The data is plotted with urban air pollution levels on the horizontal axis and rural air pollution levels on the vertical axis. Nevada is an outlier in the ?x‑direction. What must be true about this state? The urban air pollution levels for this state are much higher or lower than the rest of the states in the data set. The rural air pollution levels for this state are much higher or much lower than the rest of the states in the data set. This state is an influential observation. The rural air pollution levels for this state are much higher or lower than other states in the data set that have similar urban air pollution levels. The absolute value of the residual of this state is large.
