  1. Which variable should be the dependent variable and which should be the independent variable? Why?
  2. Plot the points on the scatterplot graph. NOTE: In a scatterplot the x axis will always reflect 1, 2, 3… not the Quarters specifically.

Label both axes with words.

In order to analyze the data we will use the line of best fit.

  1. Answer with 1-3 complete sentences. Does the line seem to fit the data? Why?
  1. Calculate the following use excel trendline:
  1. y-intercept to two decimal places a=
  2. slope to 3 decimal places     b=
  1. correlation coefficient (to 4 decimal places) =
  2. n =
  3. correlation of determination (to 3 decimal places) =
  4. line of best fit equation
  5. What does the correlation imply about the relationship between the time and the number of users?
  1. Is the correlation significant? Why or why not? (Answer in 1-2 complete sentences.) (Use the Pearson calculator).
  1. Interpret the coefficient of determination in this real world context:

12) Can the regression line be used for prediction?

  1. Predict the following:
  1. For the First quarter of 2008, predict the total monthly users.

2 There are two (2) laboratory tests can be conducted to determine the coefficient of soil permeability which is falling head test(for fine grained soil) and constant head test(for coarse grained soil). Based on your understanding about soil permeability, justify the difference of these two tests in details by using your own word. Provide the justification with references and the answers are limited to three pages only.
