(a) Draw a scatter diagram for this data. Use a scale of 2cm for 5000 folders on the horizont
axis and 2 cm for 10 000 Euros on the vertical axis.
(c) Label the point M(x, C) on the scatter diagram.
a) Calculate r by hand
(10)
(d) Use your graphie display calculator to find the Pearson's product-moment correlation
coefficient, r.
(e) State a reason why the regression line C on x is appropriate to model the relationship
between these variables.
* Line of best fit.
(f) Use your calculator to find the equation of the regression line C on x.
(g) Draw the regression line C on x on the scatter diagram.
Every month the factory sells all the folders produced. Each folder is sold for 2.99 Euros.
(h) Use the equation of the regression line to estimate the least number of folders that the
factory needs to sell in a month to exceed its production cost for that month.
