Researchers were interested in whether there was a linear relationship between a person's armspan (x) and a person's height (y). The data is shown below.
Armspan | _Height_ | |
66 | 70 | |
61.75 | 60 | |
66 | 66 | |
70 | 70 | |
66 | 67 | |
69 | 67 | |
62 | 64 | |
61 | 60 | |
Sums: | 521.75 | 524 |
a) Find the least squares line between armspan (x) and height (y) based on the data.
