The accompanying data show the number of hours, x, studied for and the grade received, y (y is measured in tens; that is, y = 8 means that the grade, rounded to the nearest 10 points, is 80).
x | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 8 |
y | 5 | 5 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 10 | 8 | 9 |
(a) Use the given scatter diagram to estimate r for the
sample data on the number of hours studied and the grade.
r ≈
(b) Calculate r. (Give your answer correct to two decimal
places.)
r =
