Suppose the line of best fit is being found for some points that have an r-value of 0.769. If the standard deviation of the x-coordinates is 5.508, what is the slope of the line to three decimal places?

Respuesta :

r value i.e Correlation between x value and y value = 0.769

[tex]A_{x}[/tex]=Standard deviation of the x-coordinate = 5.508

 [tex]A_{y}[/tex]=Standard deviation of the y-coordinate = ?=k

Slope of line is given by formula

If slope of line is m, then

m = [tex]r\times \frac{ A_{x}}{A _{y}}[/tex]

m= [tex]0.769 \times \frac{k}{5.508}[/tex]

Substitute the value of k, i.e Standard deviation of the y-coordinate and then you can get the slope of line to three decimal places.
