a. The equation for the line of best-fit is:

y = 8.52x + 11.7.

b. The correlation coefficient is of: 0.9987, hence there is a strong positive correlation between the variables.

<h3>How to find the equation of the line of best fit and the correlation coefficient?</h3>

To obtain the regression equation, also called line of best fit or least squares regression equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator. These points are given on a table or in a scatter plot in the problem.

The points in this problem are given on the table as follows:

(0, 12.2), (1, 19.1), (2, 29.4), (3, 37.3), (4, 45.7).

As we consider the input x as the number of years since 2011.

Then, using the calculator, the equation is given as follows:

y = 8.52x + 11.7.

Using a correlation coefficient calculator, the numeric value of the coefficient is of:

r = 0.9987.

Hence the correlation between the variables is classified as follows:

  • Positive, as the correlation coefficient is positive.
  • Strong, as the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.6.

A plant measures 0.5 in. at the end of Week 1 and 14 in. at the end of Week 5. find the rate of change
CaHeK987 [17]
The change in growth was 14 - 0.5 = 13.5 inches.
Since it is over the course of 5 weeks, divide 13.5 by 5.
13.5/5 = 2.7
2.7 = 270%

The rate of change was 270%. Hope this helps!
