Suppose a doctor measures the height, x, and head circumference, y, of 8 children and obtains the data below. The
correlation coefficient is 0.944 and the least squares regression line is y = 0.199x + 11.982. Complete parts (a) and (b)
below.

According to the residual plot, the linear model appears to be (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Given that,
Dependent variable (y) = head circumference
Independent variable (x) = height
Sample size (n) = 11
Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.944
The regression equation is,
y = 0.199x + 11.982
