A researcher notes that, in a certain region, a disproportionate number of software millionaires were born around the year 1955. Is this a coincidence, or does birth year matter when gauging whether a software founder will besuccessful? The researcher investigated this question by analyzing the data shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c below.
a. Find the coefficient of determination for the simple linear regression model relating number (y) of software millionaire birthdays in a decade to total number (x) of births in the region. Interpret the result.
The coefficient of determination is 1.___?
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
This value indicates that 2.____ of the sample variation in the number of software millionaire birthdays is explained by the
linear relationship with the total number of births in the region.

The Update to the Task Force Report on Blood Pressure Control in Children [12] reported the observed 90th per-centile of SBP in single years of age from age 1 to 17 based on prior studies. The data for boys of average height are given in Table 11.18. Suppose we seek a more efficient way to display the data and choose linear regression to accomplish this task.
