Relating the sample correlation coefficient and the parameters of the lea... 1/3 The Cadet is a popular model of sport utility vehicle. The bivariate data given below were taken from a sample of sixteen Cadets, each bought "new" two years ago and each sold "used" within the past month. For each Cadet in the sample, we have listed both the mileage, x (in thousands), that the Cadet had at the time it was sold used, and the price, y (in thousands of dollars), at which the Cadet was sold used. These data are shown graphically in the scatter plot in Figure 1.

Answer the following. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answers as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) What is the value of the y-intercept of the least-squares regression line for these data? Round your answer to at least two decimal places. (b) What is the value of the sample correlation coefficient for these data? Round your answer to at least three decimal places. X Explanation Check
