  • 2 (a) Find the correlation coefficient, accurate to four significant figures, between the number of touchdowns, t, and the number of passing yards, y..
  • 2 (b) Find the equation of the regression line, y = n*t + k, giving the line of best fit for the number of passing yards, y, as a function of the number of touchdowns, t. What is the slope, n, of this line, accurate to two decimal places?
  • 2 (c) Find the equation of the regression line, y = n*t + k, giving the line of best fit for the number of passing yards, y, as a function of the number of touchdowns, t. What is the value of k for this line, accurate to two decimal places?
  • 2 (d) Use the regression line you found in 2 (b) and 2 (c) to find the number of touchdowns expected if Brady passes for 4000 yards. Use the values stored in your calculator or spreadsheet, without rounding them, and give an answer with four significant figures.
  • 2 (e) Use the regression line you found in 2 (b) and 2 (c) to find the number of passing yards expected if Brady throws 45 touchdowns. Use the values stored in your calculator or spreadsheet, without rounding them, and give an answer with two decimal places.
