  1. Draw a scatter diagram for the data ( You can copy and past this graph in your work area by using any technology). Do you see a linear relation?
  2. Compute the value of linear correlation coefficient "r". From the value of "r" can we decide the strength of the relation ( strong, moderate, or weak)?
  3. Find the equation of regression line, identify the slope and intercept. Also explain  meaning  of slope in the context of the problem.
  4. How many cars can the manager expect to sell if 12 ads per week are aired on TV?
  5. The regression equation obtained above is good predictor or otherwise?
