For the following table of data,
a. Draw a scatterplot.
b. Calculate the correlation coefficient.
c. Calculate the least squares line and
graph it on the scatterplot.
d. Predict the
a. Choose the correct answer below.
A. B.
C.
D.
b. Calculate the correlation coefficient.

(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is
Step 1 :Given the data points, we have the following values:
Step 2 :The number of pairs of data, denoted as
Step 3 :The sum of the x-values, denoted as
Step 4 :The sum of the y-values, denoted as
Step 5 :The sum of the product of the x and y values, denoted as
Step 6 :The sum of the squares of the x-values, denoted as
Step 7 :The sum of the squares of the y-values, denoted as
Step 8 :Substitute these values into the formula for the correlation coefficient,
Step 9 :After calculating, we find that the correlation coefficient,
Step 10 :Rounding to the nearest thousandth, the final answer is
