Need help with C, E & F

Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Letxbe the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and letybe the miles per gallon (mpg).

x: 30 46 33 47 23 40 34 52

y: 29 19 23 13 29 17 21 14

Complete parts (a) through (e), given x=305,y=165,x2=12,303,y2=3667,xy=5903,andr0.919.
