Question

Warren, a golf fan, was curious about how often professional golfers make successful putts from various distances. He looked at a large sample of putts from different distances (in meters) and recorded the success rate for each distance. He noticed a strong negative linear relationship. Here is computer output from a least-squares regression analysis for predicting success rate based on putt distance

Answer 1

Answer:

16.85

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer is if the question asks, "Use this model to predict the success rate of putts from 5 meters".  When you create your equation, 84.05-13.44(x), plug 5 into x and you get 16.85.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A correlation coefficient is a mathematical measure of certain kind of correlation, in sense a statistical relationship amid two variables

Negative correlation is a relationship amid two variables in which one variable rises as the other falls, and vice versa.  

Values amid 0.7 and 1.0 (-0.7 and -1.0) implies a strong positive (negative) linear relationship amid the variables.

It is provided that Warren noticed a strong negative linear relationship between the success rate and putt distances.

This implies that as the putt distances are increasing the success rates are decreasing and as the putt distances are decreasing the success rates are increasing.
