Sister 69 64 65 63 65 62 65 64 66 59 62 64
a) use your calculator or software to find the correlation and the equation of the least-squares line for predicting sister's height from brother's height. make a scatter-plot of the data , and add the regression line to your plot.
b)Damien is 70 inches tall . Predict the height of his sister Tonya . Based on the scatterplot and the correlation r , do you expect your prediction to be very accurate? why?
