For the following dataset, please perform these tasks: Visualize: Sketch a scatterplot of the data and provide a brief interpretation (direction, form, and strength). Summary Statistics: Use your TI-84 calculator to find the sample mean and sample standard deviation for both variables. Correlation: Use your TI-84 calculator to find the correlation coefficient, r. Regression: Compute the equation of the least-squares regression line “by hand” using the summary statistics and correlation found in previous steps. Prediction: Use your regression equation to make the specific prediction requested in the problem.
