Suppose the line of best fit is being found for some data points that have an r-value of 0.657. If the standard deviation of the
x-coordinates is 2.445, and the standard deviation of the y-coordinates is 9.902, what is the slope of the line to three decimal places?
2 answers:
We are given a line with the following data:
r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)
We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.
To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:
slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx)
substitute the values to the formula:
b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )
Solve for the b.
Therefore, the slope of the line is
b = 2.66078, round off to three decimal places:
b = 2.661 is the slope of the line.

16.4 m to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the first bounce it rises to a height of 50*0.8 = 40 m.
After the next bounce it rises to 50*(0.8)^2 = 32 m
So after the 5th bounce it rises to 50(0.8)^5 = 16.4 m. (answer).
