It is thought that basketball teams that make too many fouls in a game tend to lose the game even if they otherwise play well. Let x be the number of fouls more than (i.e., over and above) the opposing team. Let y be the percentage of times the team with the larger number of fouls wins the game.
| x | 0 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 
| y | 48 | 45 | 33 | 26 | 
Complete parts (b) through (e), given Σx = 15, Σy = 152, Σx2 = 77, Σy2 = 6094, Σxy = 501, and r ≈ −0.849.
(b) Verify the given sums Σx, Σy, Σx2, Σy2, Σxy, and the value of the sample correlation coefficient r. (Round your value for r to three decimal places.)
| Σx = | |
| Σy = | |
| Σx2 = | |
| Σy2 = | |
| Σxy = | |
| r = | 
(c) Find x, and y. Then find the equation of the
least-squares line  = a + bx. (Round
your answers for x and y to two decimal places.
Round your answers for a and b to three decimal
places.)
| x-bar | = | |
| y-bar | = | |
| = | ____ + ____ x | 
(d) Graph the least-squares line. Be sure to plot the point
(x, y) as a point on the line.
(e) Find the value of the coefficient of determination
r2. What percentage of the variation in
y can be explained by the corresponding variation
in x and the least-squares line? What percentage is
unexplained? (Round your answer for
r2to three decimal places. Round your answers
for the percentages to one decimal place.)
| r2 = | |
| explained | % | 
| unexplained | % | 
(f) If a team had x = 3 fouls over and above the opposing
team, what does the least-squares equation forecast for y?
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
