Prehistoric pottery vessels are usually found as sherds (broken pieces) and are carefully reconstructed if enough sherds can be found. An archaeological study provides data relating x = body diameter
in centimeters and y = height in centimeters of prehistoric vessels reconstructed from sherds found at a prehistoric site. The following Minitab printout provides an analysis of the data.

For the least-squares line ŷ = a + bx, what is the value of the constant a? What is the value of the slope b? (ote: The slope is the coefficient of the predictor variable.) Write the equation
of the least-squares line.
a =
b =

The P-value for a two-tailed test corresponding to each coefficient is listed under P. The t value corresponding to the coefficient is listed under T. What is the P-value of the slope?
Recall that the t value and resulting P-value of the slope b equal thet value and resulting P-value of the corresponding correlation coefficient r. To find the value of the sample correlation
coefficient r, take the square root of the "R-Sq" value shown in the display. What is the value of r? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
