r =-0.996

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

In order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can begin doing the following table:

n x y xy x*x y*y

1 4 43.65 174.6 16 1905.323

2 5 40.74 203.7 25 1659.748

3 6 38.53 231.18 36 1484.561

4 7 37.22 260.54 49 1385.323

5 8 33.01 264.08 64 1089.660

6 9 30.61 275.49 81 936.972

7 10 29.89 298.9 100 893.412

8 11 27.18 298.98 121 738.752

9 12 25.87 310.44 144 669.257

10 13 23.56 306.28 169 555.0974

11 14 22.25 311.50 196 495.063

12 15 18.64 279.60 225 347.450

13 16 18.33 293.28 256 335.989

14 17 16.92 287.64 289 286.286

15 18 13.81 248.58 324 190.716

16 19 9.9 188.10 361 98.01

$n =16 \sum x \sum y \sum xy \sum x^2 \sum y^2$

n=16 $\sum x = 184, \sum y = 430.11, \sum xy=4232.89, \sum x^2 =2456, \sum y^2 =13071.6$

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{16(4232.89)-(184)(430.11)}{\sqrt{[16(2456) -(184)^2][16(13071.600) -(430.11)^2]}}=-0.996$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =-0.996

Answer from: Quest

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where, $a = \frac{\sum y \sum x^2 - \sum x\sum xy}{n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2}$

here given table is,

price ($), x : 18 23 25 29 30 33

pairs sold, y : 16 13 10 8 6 2

so, $\sum x = 158$ , $\sum y = 55$ , $\sum xy = 1315$ ,

$\sum x^2 = 4308$ and $\sum y^2 = 629$ ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

$a = \frac{55\times 4308-158\times 1315}{6\times 4308-(158)^2}$

⇒ $a = \frac{29170}{884}$

⇒ $a =32.9977375566$ ≈ 33
