Moisture content in percent by volume (x) and conductivity in mS/m (y) were measured for
50 soil specimens. The means and standard deviations were =8.1, s, = 1.2. 5 = 30.4, s, =1.9
. The correlation between conductivity and moisture was computed to be r = 0.85. Find the
equation of the least-squares line for predicting soil conductivity from moisture content.
The accompanying data represent the number of days absent, x, and the final exam score, y, for a sample of college students in a general education course at a large state university. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
