Can a low barometer reading be used to predict maximum wind speed of an approaching tropical cyclone? For a random sample of tropical cyclones, let x be the lowest pressure (in millibars) as a cyclone approaches, and let y be the maximum wind speed (in miles per hour) of the cyclone.

x 1004 975 992 935 989 922
y 40 100 65 145 84 153

 

 

 

 

 

 

(c) Use a calculator to verify that

   
 
 
x = 5817, 
   
 
 
x2 = 5,645,135, 
   
 
 
y = 587, 
   
 
 
y2 = 67,315

and

   
 
 
xy = 561,857.



Compute r. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
