19. A linear regression was done to relate the age of a person, x, and the number of optimal hours of sleep, y. The equation was found to be �� = −0.12�� + 11.5 with a correlation coefficient of �� = −0.86.
a) Explain what each of the parameters in the linear model represent, i. e. the -0.12 and the 11.5. b) How do you interpret the fact that the correlation coefficient is negative?
