The table below shows the grade and reading level for 5 students.
Grade Reading Level
Student 1 2 6
Student 2 6 14
Student 3 5 12
Student 4 4 10
Student 5 1 4
For grade, the mean is 3.6 and the standard deviation is 2.1.
For reading level, the mean is 9.2 and the standard deviation is 4.1.
Using the formula below or Excel, find the correlation coefficient, r, for this set of students. Answer choices
are rounded to the nearest hundredth.

This scatterplot shows the maintenance expense for a truck based on its years of service.
, The equation for least regression line to this data set is ŷ = 76.82x + 88.56.
What is the predicted value (in dollars) for maintenance expenses when a truck is 7 years old?
$549
$473
$626
$703
RATIONALE
In order to get the predicted maintenance expense when the age of the truck is 7 years, we simply substitute the value
7 in our equation for x. So we can note that:
