Question

a. Find the correlation coefficient for these data using a computer or statistical calculator. Use distance as the x-variabr= (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

We will have the following:

From the data given we construct:

Now, we using a device to create a linear regression to determine any sort of linear relationship we will have that the equation that would model the data would be:

$f(x)=0.06185271791x+2.249959663$

From this we extrapolate:

And the slope is our rate, so the relationship would be approximately 0.06185271791.
