Question
1. It was found that the mean scores in algebra (X) and statistics (Y) for a group of students are 80 and 71.72222 and the corresponding standard deviations are 13.39 and 13.08. If the correlation coefficient is approximately -0.5, what could be a likely equation of the equation of best fit?
 
A. y = 110.65 + 0.49 x
 
B. y = 110.65 - 0.49 x
 
C. y = 110.65 x + 0.49
 
D. y = 110.65 x - 0.49
 
2. How do you interpret the correlation in this problem?
 
A. Higher the algebra score, higher is the score in statistics.
 
B. Higher the algebra score, lower is the score in statistics.
 
C. Lower the algebra score, lower is the score in statistics.
 
D. No meaningful conclusion can be made.
