Question

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between the happiness index (y) and life expectancy in years of a given country (x).

The results of the regression were:

ˆyy^=a+bx
a=-1.778
b=0.143


(a) Write the equation of the Least Squares Regression line of the form

ˆyy^= + x

(b) Which is a possible value for the correlation coefficient, rr?

  • -0.853
  • 0.853
  • -1.931
  • 1.931



(c) If a country increases its life expectancy, the happiness index will

  • decrease
  • increase
