Describe the
a.
Answer to Problem 1CYU
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table shows the temperature in the ocean at various depths.
Make a
Calculation:
The slope of the line is positive and the points are close to the line.
The slope of the line is negative and the points are not close to the line.
No correlation:
There is no obvious pattern of increase or decrease for the given data.
Consider the table provided into textbook.
Graph the data as ordered pairs with the depth on the horizontal axis and the temperature on the vertical axis. Draw a line through two points that appear to represent the data well, such as
Use maple to graph a scatter plot and a line of fit.
The data show a weak negative correlation.
b.
Use two ordered pairs to write a prediction equation.
