Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 13.8 19.3 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 87.1; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1554.45; Σxy = 274b) Find the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) ŷ =  +  x

Question

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information:

x 1 2 3 4 5
y 13.8 19.3 14.4 19.6 20.0
Σx = 15; Σy = 87.1; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1554.45; Σxy = 274b) Find the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
ŷ =  +  x

(c) Find r. Find the coefficient of determination r2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
r =  
r2 =  
 
d) Test the claim that the population correlation coefficient is positive at the 1% level of significance. (Round your test statistic to three decimal places.)
t =
