Regression Problem Sarah Anderson, the business analyst at TV Revolution, is conducting research on the dealership’s various television brands. She has collected data over the past year (2022) on the manufacturer, screen size, and price of various television brands. The data is given in the file below. You have been hired as an intern to run analyses on the data and report the results back to Sarah; the five questions that Sarah needs you to address are given below. Does there appear to be a positive or negative relationship between price and screen size? Use a scatter plot to examine the relationship. Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient between the two variables. In your interpretation, discuss the direction of the relationship (positive,…arrow_forward
